Usage - according to
I have learned some examples of English usage in the text . What's usage ?
Usage is the generally accepted way in which words and phrases are used in a language . Now I plan to discuss the usage - according to .
1. If you do something according to a set of principles , these principles are used as a basis for the way you do it . For example
What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everday use .
2. If you say taht something is true according to a person , book , or document and so on , you mean that you got the information from that person, book , document ... For instance
According to Mary , Amy is a really good friend .
The road was fifty miles long according to my electronic map .
3. When it is used in this sense , you should note that you don't say " a ccording to me or according to us " . If you want to emphasize that what you are saying is your opinion , you say in " in my opinion or in our opinion "
For example
In my opinion , Mr Smith was to blame for the accident because he was driving too fast .
4. You should note that you don't use " according to somebody's opinion ..."
Instead , you can say " In somebody's opinion or According to somebody..."
For instance

In my correction below, I meant to say, 有點口語的感覺. It sounds more colloquial. Especially in a shorter sentence, we probably won't use the contraction.
BTW, consider using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer as your web browser. It has built-in spellchecking.

你做得很好，注意標點符號，不要在標點以前加上空格，只在後面加一個。
例如： "This is a sentence. This is another sentence“
不要： "This is a sentence . This is another sentence“
Usage - according to
Usage is the generally accepted way in which words and phrases are used in a language . Now I plan to discuss the usage of the preposition "according to".
1. If you do something "according to a set of principles" , (it means that) these principles are used as a basis for the way you do it . For example:
What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use.
2. If you say that something is true according to a person , book , or document and so on , you mean that you got the information from that person, book , document ... For instance:
According to Mary, Amy is a really good friend .
The road was fifty miles long according to my electronic map .
3. When it is used in the above sense (#2), you should note that you don't say " according to me" or "according to us " . If you want to emphasize that what you are saying is your opinion, you should (instead) say in " in my opinion" or "in our opinion "
For example:
In my opinion, Mr. Smith was to blame for the accident because he was driving too fast.
4. You should note that you don't use " according to somebody's opinion ..."
Instead, you can say " In somebody's opinion" or "according to somebody..."
