1.昨天我在Tom家吃饭用英语怎么说?要加ing吗 2.spend.take.cost都是花费怎么区分

1 昨天我在Tom家吃饭I had my dinner in Tom's house yesterday.用一般过去式即可
如果加ing一般是表示当时正在吃的动作,比如I was having my dinner in Tom's house at that time.有【at that time】表示当时正在吃的情景.
2 有4个表示“花费”的单词：pay,spend,cost,take
它们所用主语不同：
cost 的主语通常是【事或物】(包括形式主语 it),不能是人,通常表示客观上被动地“耗费”,侧重被动；
pay 的主语只能是【人】,某人主动偿付XX金钱,强调偿付的动作；
spend 的主语也只能是【人】,表示在于花费了多少钱,强调金钱的数额,与介词on连用；
take 的主语可以则上述二者均可,通用于表示耗费的“金钱”、"时间",侧重消耗的动作.
