provide ,offer 和supply这三个词都有“供应,提供”的意思,但是用法又不尽相同。它们经常出现在各种完形阅读中,大家要多注意其用法区别。现举例说明其如何运用(另附 afford,furnish 的用法)
1.provide v. 供应,提供
provide指有远见,为应付意外、紧急情况等作好充分准备而“供给、提供”, 可用于provide sb.(with sth.)或provide sth.(for sb.)结构。

They have already provided me with everything I need.他们已给我提供了所需要的一切。
We are here to provide a service for the public.我们来这里是为公众服务。
2.offer v. 提供;提出,提议;出价
offer侧重表示“主动提出”“愿意给予”,常用于offer sb. sth.(offer sth. to sb.)或offer to do sth. 结构,后不能接宾语从句。
offer sth 提出、提供、供应,
如:
The manager offered him a cigarette.经理拿了一支烟给他。
He offered me shelter.他给我提供了避难处。

3.supply v. 供应,提供
supply通常指定期“供应”,强调替代或补充所需物品,尤指长时间地定期供应所需或想要之物,常用于
supply sth. for/to sb.
supply sb. with sth.

We are here to provide/supply the public with a service.我们来这里是为公众服务。
4. afford v. [正式]提供,给予
多指提供抽象的东西,可后接双宾语。
如:

5. furnish v. [正式]提供,供应
既可指提供抽象的东西,又可指提供具体的东西。
