辨析：die, dead, dying和death
1）die作动词，强调动作，为短暂性动词，不能和表示时间段连用。例如：
Li Lei’s grandfather died in 2000.李磊的爷爷死于2000年。
2）dead意为“死的”，为形容词，作表语和定语，强调状态。当有时间段时，用be dead，不能用die。例如：
There is a dead dog lying on the road.有一只死狗躺在大道上。
3）dying为die的现在分词，也可作形容词，意为“垂死的”，常用作定语或表语。例如：
The cat is dying.这猫正垂死挣扎。
4）death是die的名词形式。如：
The death of his pet dog made him sad.
