Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：con 像‘肯’，sent 像‘send’的过去式；心里肯了，才把许可送出去。consent＝同意、准许。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：legal documents、medical treatment、formal applications、official correspondence consent 作动词时通常偏向正式，多用于法律、医疗或官方书面场景；日常口语中较少使用，更常说 agree 或 allow。常与介词 to 搭配，如 consent to something。
Grammar Note
通常与介词to连用
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词的词尾都读 /sɛnt/，与 consent 押韵（重音也在末音节）。注意拼写差异：ascent、descent 用 -scent，assent、dissent 用 -sent，percent 用 -cent。形近词 content 读作 /ˈkɒntɛnt/ 或 /kənˈtɛnt/，词尾是 /tɛnt/，与 consent 不同。
