這兩個短語都表示“代替；而不是”，但有明顯差別。
1）instead是副詞，單獨使用，多放在句中或句末。如：If you cannot go, let him go instead. 如果你不能去，讓他替你去。
I didn't have a pen, so I used a pencil instead.我沒有鋼筆，因此我就用鉛筆了。
2）instead of是短語介詞，后接名詞、代詞、動名詞或另一個介詞短語（注意 Of后面的介詞不能省略）。如：

注意：有時這兩個短語可進行轉換，意思基本不變。如：He didn't go to school. Instead he went to the cinema.= He went to the cinema instead of going to school. 他沒去上學，相反他去了電影院。
訣竅：若要點明“被代替的人或物”， instead之后則須加伙：若不需要具體點出來“被代替的人或物”，則不加 of .如第2、3兩個例句可改為：I didn't have a pen, so I used a pencil instead. If you cannot go, he'll go instead (of you) .
8. watch out 留神；提防

There are many kinds of pollution, for example, noise is a kind of pollution.有許多種污染方式，例如噪音就是一種污染。
2）such as用來“羅列”同類人或物中的幾個例子，可置于被列舉的事物與前面的名詞之間，但其后邊不能用逗號。如：

13.see sb off 給某人送行
see見意為“（到機場、火車站等）為某人送行”，見是副詞，代詞賓語必須放在其前邊，名詞作賓語則可以位于見前或后。如：Who will go to the airport to see you off?誰要到機場為你送行？

16. by spaceship by doing sth.通過做某事
1)by spaceship作“乘宇宙飛船”講。介詞 by后邊直接跟單數名詞，且名詞前不用限定詞，表示“靠/用/通過某種交通方式”。本單元還出現了 by boat（乘船）， by train乘火車）， by air（＝ by plane，乘飛機）， by bus（乘公交車）等，都屬于這種用法。但是，若名詞前有了my等限定詞，則要改用別的介詞。如：
I came by bike / on my mother's bike.我是騎自行車／騎我媽的自行車來的。
I wish I could go to the moon by spaceship one day. 我希望將來有一天我能乘宇宙飛船到月球上去。

19.as well as
