+===III. 一向 all along, has always...===
+Refers to habitual actions or inclinations, eg. 「臺灣父母一向在乎孩子的成績」
+Compare with 一直: 一直 means incessantly, or without stopping. 一向 can only describe past events while 一直 can express something in the future.
+===IV. 拿…來說 take ...as an example===
+===V. Passive Sentences with 受===
+「受」refers to abstract things (eg. respect, appreciation, etc.)

+===VI. 動不動就… to do something impetuously===
+This is used as a criticism of somebody's rash behavior.
+Compare with 「說…就…」：=「說…就…」is not necessarily a criticism
