1.Practise saying the following tongue twisters.
此句中的practise意思是“实践;实行;练习”,它可作及物动词,也可作不及物动词,在美国英语中,也可拼写为practice。当其作为及物动词时,后面可接名词或代词、动名词、宾语从句,但不可接动词不定式。例如:
I havent been practising enough. 我练习得还不够。(不及物)
Shes practising a new piece on the piano.
她在练习弹奏一支新曲子。(接名词)

2 .… so she bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better.
句中make为使役动词,其后接的是复合宾语,即“make+宾语+adj.(宾补)”结构。make后的宾补除形容词外,还可以由名词、不带to的不定式、过去分词等来充当。例如:
We made him our monitor. 我们选他为班长。(名词作宾补)
His cheerful joking made us forget our weariness.
他讲的愉快的笑话使我们忘记了疲劳。(不带to的动词不定式)

3.I wish to wish the wish you wish to wish, but if you wish the wish witch wishes. I wont wish the wish you wish to wish.

②表示“祝愿”时,多用复数形式。例如:

①“wish+不定式”。例如:
