right(ly)
1.right（权利）后面接不定式或of和动名词都可以。例如：You have a（或the）right to use（或of using）this room. 用不定式比较普通。
2.He is right in thinking so比He is right to think so普通。
3.比较下面四句：
- It is right for you to do this. （你做这件事是对的。）
- It is right of you to do this. （你做这件事是应该的。）
- It is right that you should do this. （跟第一句相同）
- You do right in doing（或to do）this. （跟第二句相同）
4.You are right是“你是对的”（不指道德），You are in the right有时是“你是对的”（不指道德），有时是“你是正直的”（指道德）。right的反义词是wrong，in the right的反义表达方式是in the wrong。
据我看来，说“对的”（不指道德）用right和用in the right也有一个区别：right只说“对的”，in the right通常含有“在对的（而不是错的）一方面的”的意思。如假定你的朋友某人说Shakespeare was born in England，你对他说You are right，通常不说You are in the right。但假使甲说Shakespeare was born in England，乙说Shakespeare was born in France，你对甲说You are right或You are in the right都可以。wrong和in the wrong也有这区别。
5.right可以用作副词，作rightly解，right通常用在动词的后面，rightly通常用在动词的前面。例如：
- He answered the question right.
He rightly answered forty-eight. - You guessed right.
You rightly guessed that she was a nurse.
但在remember，act等词后面right和rightly都可以用，如If I remember right(ly), during the past few years it has very seldom happened that we didn't see each other for so long as a fortnight和You acted quite right(ly)。
6.right along，right here，right now和right there是美国英语，相当于英国英语all the way along，here and now，at this moment和just there。right away（立刻）原来也是美国英语，但现在在英国也很普通，相当于英国英语straight away。
7.put right和set right作“修理”，“治疗（人）”或“改正”解，put to rights和set to rights作“安排”解，不可说put to right或set to right，注意下面各句：
- We should try to put（或set）the machine right.
- I hope this medicine will put（或set）you right.
- The essay contains some misprints, it should be put（或set）right.
- He has a wrong opinion about this, he should be put（或set）right.
- I wonder how we can put（或set）matters right（或to rights）.
- She put（或set）her room to rights and went out.
