重点讲解
一.ask：v. 询问，请求，邀请，要求，开价，期待
【词语用法】
ask在大部分情况下是指“问”，如ask her name（问她的名字），ask the way（问路），但在于price搭配时，表达两种意思，“问价”和“讨价”。
I asked her the price.
这里指问价。
I asked the price of ￥20.
这里指讨价。
ask后可带直接宾语和间接宾语，如ask his name和ask him。也可带双宾语，但是要注意将间接宾语（指人的词）先放在前面，中间不需要任何介词连接。
She asked me my opinion.
她问我的意见。
ask后可接of，但多半情况下，省略of。如句子I asked him a question比I asked a question of him的用法普遍，而 She has a question to ask (of) you和she asked (of) me中的of均可省略。
不过，在特定的句子中，of 不可省略。
I am afraid it is too much to ask of him.
句中的ask做请求的意思。
ask和ask for都有“请求”的意思，而前者常用在无形的物体上，后者则可同时用在有形和无形的物体上。如ask a favour，ask advice和ask for bread，ask for money。
如果在这两种表达方式后加被请求的人，那么用ask时该在宾语后加of 和人，而用ask for时该在ask和for中间加人，如ask a favour of her和ask him for meat。
通常情况下，ask在指“请求”时，后要求带双宾语，但比较特殊的是，favour是直接宾语，所以可以将ask a favour of him改为ask him a favour，不能说ask him advice或ask him permission；
ask 指“请求”时，后可接that从句，句中用shall，should或虚拟现在式。
I ask that he shall/should call this evening.
I ask that he call (不用calls) this evening.
ask后还可以带不定式。
I asked to go home.
I asked John to go home.
I asked for the children to have extra milk.
注意下列各句的意思：
She asked me something.
她问我一个问题，一些事。
She asked me for something.
她向我要些东西。
He asked about her.
他问起她。
He asked after she.
他问起她的健康情况。
He asked for her.
他问起要见她，与其联系。
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句：Some general questions to ask of your software .
纠正：Some general questions to ask about your software include the following.
翻译：就你们的软件问下面这些基本的问题
分析：一般用ask a favour of somebody或是ask certain uses of software，但不能直接说questions of software。
【例句用法】
1.If you ask me, he hasn't got long to live.
恕我直言，他活不长了。
2.Did you ask the price?
你问价钱了吗？
3.I have asked some friends for tea.
我请了一些朋友来喝茶。
4.May I ask a question?
我可以问一个问题吗？
二.answer：v. 回答，答复，接电话 n. 答案，回答，答复 n. 对等物 vt. 符合，适合
