若想迅速扩大词汇量,必须懂构词法知识。构词法主要有合成法、转化法、派生法和缩略法四种。
合成法
合成法就是指由两个或两个以上的单词合成的词。这种构词方式主要有两种:复合法、结合法。合成法主要是构成合成名词和合成形容词。blackboard和darkroom都是形容词和名词形成的结构,writing desk是动名词和名词形式的结构。

转化法
把一种词性用作另一种词性而词形不变的方法叫做转化法,有的名词可以作动词,有的形容词可以作副词或动词。由于词类转化的结果,英语中就形成了大量外形相同但词类不同的词,即同形异类词。转化主要有如下几种类型。
动词转化为名词 (有时意思没有太大变化)
He tried a hard try.
He laughed a hearty laugh.
He gave the girl a kiss.
He fought a hard fight.
Can I have a read of your paper?
She had a cry about the sad news.
She closed her eyes and wished a wish.
He smiled a friendly smile and bowed a little bow.
She slept a peaceful/ sound sleep and dreamed a happy dream.
名词转化为动词
有些词,本属名词,但在现在英语中,却越来越多地用做动词,这就是名词的动词化。名词动词化后,常常表示具有该名词活动特点、性质特征的动作,既精炼又生动。这类名词有如下几类:

The shepherd wintered his sheep in the valley.
She usually breakfasts at seven a.m.
4.用品物件词pencil, pen, pocket, veil, glass, machine, gun, sandwich等
The paint coated the wall.

6.通讯交通词bus, truck, wheel, radio, train等
