v.(动词)

last的基本意思是“持续”“耐久”。引申可表示“够…之用,使得以维持下去,经受住”等。

last常用作不及物动词,不接宾语,也不用于被动结构,通常由介词for引起的时间状语修饰,延续时间短时for可省略。

last的现在分词lasting可用作形容词,在句中作定语表示“持久的”。

n.(名词)

last用作名词时,其复数形式不变。

lastly的用法与firstly基本一致，但lastly常表示“末了”，可以在上文没有用到Firstly,Secondly,Thirdly等词时使用Lastly去表示最终要表述的点；

last一般用完成时有时也用过去完成时还与介词连用，如at；

last有最近过去的意思后可接week，month，Monday等，但不可以接morning等词，如last morning应用yesterday morning来表示；

at last的使用较at the last来的普遍，与其同义的短语有at long last和at the long last，只是它们的程度更深一点，有“虽然经过了长时期”的含义。要注意的是，这几种表达方式都表示时间，而不是“末了”。

At (the) last, I have to repeat my advice.
这样是不可以说的，应改At (the) last为Finally或Lastly。

last做动词时是持续的意思。

The supply will last five days.
存货将持续5天。

last Monday等表达方式可作状语短语，不需要在其前面加介词，如on或in。但是若将last Monday改成Monday last，就需要介词on。

They arrived last Monday.
They arrived on Monday last.

事件，行为，产品通常与latest连用而不是last来表明新的或最近的，要注意这两个词的区别与联系；

last单用时，还可表示“last letter”，作最近的信解。

As I said in my last, I am in good health.
就如我在最近的信中提到的一样，我身体很好。

用于表示“最后”时，一定要有三个或三个以上的人或物，才会出现其中一个是last。若是只有两个的话，就不可以用last来表示，如在A和B中，B是second或latter，绝不是last；

与last所表示的“最后的”不同的是，latest表示“截至现在（或当时）为止最后的”，即“最近过去的”。

v.(动词)好天气只延续了几天。

误 The fine weather was lasted only a few days.

正 The fine weather lasted only a few days.

析 last作“延续”“持续”解时,是不及物动词,不用于被动结构。
