一、see, hear, feel, watch, look,这五个动词均可作连系动词,后面接形容词作表语,说明主语所处的状态.其意思分别为"看/听/闻/尝/摸起来……".除look之外,其它几个动词的主语往往是物,而不是人.例如:

The tomatoes feel very soft.这些西红柿摸起来很软.
二、这些动词后面也可接介词like短语,like后面常用名词.例如:
Her idea sounds like fun.她的主意听起来很有趣.
三、这五个感官动词也可作实义动词,除look(当"看起来……"讲时)只能作不及物动词外,其余四个既可作及物动词也可作不及物动词,其主语通常是人.例如:
She smelt the meat.她闻了闻那块肉.
I felt in my pocket for cigarettes.我用手在口袋里摸香烟.
四、taste, smell作不及物动词时,可用于"taste / smell + of +名词"结构,意为"有……味道/气味".例如:
The air in the room smells of earth.房间里的空气有股泥土味.
五、它们(sound除外)可以直接作名词,与have或take构成短语.例如:
May I have a taste of the mooncakes?我可以尝一口这月饼吗?
六、其中look, sound, feel还能构成"look / sound / feel + as if +从句"结构,意为"看起来/听起来/感觉好像……".例如:
It looks as if our class is going to win.看来我们班好像要获胜了.
