* 1. more, less, fewer的用法区别:
more为many, much的比较级,意为"更多",可修饰可数与不可数名词。
less是little的比较级,修饰不可数名词。 fewer是few的比较级,修饰可数名词复数
e.g. more (many) trees / (much) pollution fewer (few) trees / less (little) pollution
【注意】few, little表示否定"几乎没有"。 a few, a little表示肯定"一点,几个"。

* 2. alone adj.(只作表语)adv. 独自;单独

【注】alone 表示"单独的,独自一人的",不含感情色彩。做形容词时,只能在be动词或系动词之后做表语,与lonely不同; lonely表示"孤独的,寂寞的"含有丰富的感情色彩。lonely做形容词时,可做定语和表语。如: a lonely village 孤寂的村庄。

* 4. in 与 after的区别
in是指以现在时间为起点的"在一段时间以后",也可以表示"在将来多少时间之内",句子中的谓语动词要用一般将来时态; after常指以过去时间为起点的"一段时间之后",所以它与过去时态连用。
after和in都可以表示"以后"的意思,其区别是:
1)after以过去为起点,表示过去一段时间以后,常用于过去时态的句子。例如:They started working after lunch.
2)in以现在为起点,表示将来一段时间以后,常用于将来时态的句子。如: They will start working in half an hour.
3)在某个特定的时间后,after也可用将来时态。例如:They will start working after 10 am. 他们将在上午10点以后开始工作。
4) "after+一段时间"或"一段时间+later"表示"(在过去某个时间看来)一段时间之后"。
