摘自Little Brown Handbook
a while, awhile
Awhile is an adverb; a while is an article and a noun. Thus awhile can
modify a verb but cannot serve as the object of a preposition, and a
while is just the opposite: I will be gone awhile(not a while). I will
be gone for a while (not awhile).
bad, badly
In formal speech and writing, bad should be used only as an adjective
; the adverb is badly. He felt bad because his tooth ached badly. In
He felt bad, the verb felt is a linking verb and the adjective bad is
a subject complement.
being as, being that
Colloquial for because, the preferable word in formal speech or
writing: Because (not being as) the world is round, Columbus never did
fall off the edge.
** fall off: 下降,衰退,离开
