accomplish/complete/finish的区别
accomplish后面最常用的名词是task(任务),aim(目的),jounery(旅程),voyage(海程)

The building will be completed by the end of this month.这座楼将与月底结束。
finish和complete在许多情况可以通用,但是以下三点要注意:
①finish后面可接动名词族宾语,而complete则不能
He has finished speaking.他的话说完了。
②finish指消极的“完成”,如用完,吃完等;complete则指积极性的完成。因此“吃完饭”只能翻译成:finish a meal。这个区别在下面的句子中非常明显:
I have finished the book我已经读完这本书了。
I have completed the book我已经写完这本书了。
③finish在被动语态中可以有“全完了”,而complete则没有此意义

复习sure和certain的联系和区别:(供学生阅读消化)英语中的sure和certain是近义形容词,均有“肯定的;确信的;有把握的”的意思,它们的用法也大体相似,许多情况下可以通用,但它们之间也有一些差别。 相同点两者都能用于“be sure/certain + about /of短语”句型中,表示“对(某事)有把握”。主语必须是人,about/of之后多跟名词、代词。 I am sure/certain of his returning. 我确信他会回来。
He is quite sure/certain of /about it. 他对这事很有把握。 两者都能用于be sure/certain to do sth句型中,表示“一定会做某事”,主语可以是人,也可以是物。 Spring is sure/certain to follow winter. 冬天过后一定是春天。
They are sure/certain to come. 他们一定会来的。
两者都能用于“be sure/certain +从句”句型中,表示“确信……”,主语只能是人,而不能是物。 Tom is sure/certain that I put the key on the table. 汤姆确信我把钥匙放在桌子上了。
We are sure/certain that the book will be of great help to us.我们相信这本书对我们会有很大帮助。 两者都能用于“make sure/certain +从句”结构中,表示“确定;弄清楚”,主语只能是人。 You must make sure/certain when the bus will leave. 你必须弄清汽车何时出发。 He made sure/certain that he had turned off the gas. 他确信他关掉了煤气。不同点
“I ' m sure…”与“I ' m certain…”均可译为“我深信(确)信……”,但两者的含义却不同。前者表示一种主观上的判断或感觉,事实并不一定如此。后者强调的则是客观事实,意为主语已经知道后面的内容是既定的事实。试比较下面一组句子:I'm sure he didn't steal it. He isn’t that kind of person. 我确信他没偷,他不是那种人。
I'm certain he didn't break the cup.I broke it myself.
我敢肯定他没有打碎那个茶杯,(因为)那个茶杯是我打碎的。 如果it作为形式主语代替从句时,则其后的表语用certain,而不能用sure。 It isn ' t certain whether he will give us a report next Monday.
下星期一他是否来为我们作报告还不能确定。 两者在作定语时含义不同:sure意为“可靠的;无误的”;而certain若修饰可数名词,意为“某一;某些;某种;一些”,若修饰抽象名词,表示程度,意为“有点;有些”。 The letter was sent by a sure hand. 信已由一位可靠的人寄出了。
He made a sure answer. 他回答得准确无误。
A certain person called on me yesterday. 昨天有个人来找过我。 在祈使句中常用sure,不宜用certain。
Be sure and remember what I told you. 千万要记住我对你讲的话。
Be sure to write and tell me all the good news. 务必写信告诉我所有的好消息。 口语中,sure常作副词,用在肯定答语中替代surely,这时与of course,certainly意思相当,而certain不可作副词用。
-Would you please turn down the radio a little bit? 请你把收音机音量拧小点,好吗?
-Sure. 当然可以。-Do you still remember our first fishing trip?
-I sure do. 你还记得我们第一次去钓鱼吗?当然记得了。
小结不同点
sure certain
表示判断 主观上的 客观上的
It作形式主语 不可用 可用
作定语的意义 可靠的;无误的 某一;某些;某种;一些
在祈使句中 常用sure 不宜用certain
作副词用 可以 不可
