易错句子He forbeared from answering the question.
正确表达He forbore from answering the question.
forbear 是不规则动词，过去式是 forbore，不是 forbeared。学习者常按规则动词加 -ed，导致形式错误。

易错句子She could not forbear herself from laughing.
正确表达She could not forbear from laughing.
forbear 表示“忍住、克制”时通常不及物，后接 from + 动名词，不能加反身代词 herself 作宾语。汉语“克制自己”容易诱导学生添加 herself。
refrain 几乎只作不及物动词，固定搭配是 refrain from doing sth，多指一时忍住不做某事；forbear 更书面、偏正式甚至显旧，常含“容忍、忍住不发作”的意味，还可直接带宾语，语气比 refrain 更沉。
forebear 只作名词，指祖先，与动词 forbear 同音，拼写中间多一个 e；表示“祖先”只能写 forebear，表示“克制、避免”只能写 forbear，两者不可互换。
abstain 强调主动、长期地戒绝某物（如酒、肉），或在投票中弃权，固定用 abstain from；forbear 侧重当下克制情绪或忍住不做某个具体动作，不用于“投票弃权”这类固定说法。
