易错句子I suddenly had urge to laugh.
正确表达I suddenly had an urge to laugh.
urge 作名词表示“冲动、强烈的欲望”时是可数名词,单数形式前必须有冠词或其他限定词,如 an urge / the urge / my urge。汉语没有冠词系统,因此容易漏掉 a/an。

易错句子I urge to see my family soon.
正确表达I have an urge to see my family soon.
表示“有做某事的冲动”时要用名词 urge,搭配 have an urge to do sth。urge 作动词时意为“敦促(某人)做某事”,必须接宾语(urge sb to do sth),不能直接跟 to do;本句想表达的是“渴望”,所以该用名词。

urge 后面用不定式作定语,即 an urge to do sth,不能接 of + 动名词。汉语“做某事的冲动”里的“的”容易让学习者误用介词 of。
指对某事物的强烈反感,与推动行动的冲动相反
缺乏意愿或倾向,与强烈的欲望相对
两者都可指想行动的冲动;urge 常是较持续、强烈的内在驱动,常说 an urge to do sth;impulse 更强调突然、未经思考,常见 on impulse(一时冲动)。泛指“冲动”时二者都可能成立,但搭配不同。
desire 更宽泛,可指对事物或结果的渴望,常接 for 或 that 从句;urge 更偏“按捺不住想做某事”的强烈冲动,常接 to do。两者都可表示强烈愿望,但 urge 的驱迫感更强。
craving 多指对食物、饮料或某种体验的强烈渴求,身体或成瘾色彩较明显,常接 for;urge 范围更广,可指任何想做某事的强烈冲动。若只是一般“想做某事”,用 urge 更自然。
