marry既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词,意为"结婚；嫁；娶；与......结婚"等。常见用法如下：
一、sb marry sb表示"嫁给某人；与......结婚"。例如：
John married Mary last week.上星期约翰和玛丽结婚了。
二、sb be/get married to sb表示“与某人结婚”。例如：

三、sb marry sb to sb表示“父母把女儿嫁给某人”或“为儿子娶媳妇”。例如：

四、marry作不及物动词时，往往用副词或介词短语来修饰。例如：

五、marry 一般不与介词with 连用。例如：
她和一位英国人结了婚。
【误】She married with an Englishman.
【正】She married an Englishman.
【正】She was / got married to an Englishman.
六、若问某某是否结婚，而不涉及结婚的对象，可用be / get married的形式，相当于系表结构。
例如：
你结婚了吗？
【误】 Do you marry?/ Have you married?
【正】 Are you married?/ Have you got married?
请看下面一组对话：
A: Is Helen married?
B: Yes, she is. She married a Frenchman.
A: When did they get married?
B: In 1998.
A: Then they have been married for six years.
a.你结婚了没有?
[误]Have you married?
[正]Are you married? Have you got married?
[析]询问别人是否结婚，实质上是问其婚姻状态，应用be married;也可用表示动作的get married的完成时来表示其结果对现在的影响。
b.你什么时候结婚的?
[误]When did you marry?
[正]When did you get married? When did you marry Alice/Jim?
[析]此处若用marry, 其后应接宾语，意即：你什么时候娶/嫁给某某的?否则，应用词组get married.
c.我们结婚已有两年。
[误]We have married for two years.
[正]We have been married for two years. We got married two years ago.
[析]单个的marry一词不能用于表达这样的意义，应用词组be married或get married, 前者表示状态，可以和表示一段时间的时间状语连用，后者表示动作，为瞬间动词，不可和表示一段时间的时间状语连用。
d.你可以带着四个孩子改嫁。
[误]You can be married to four children.
[正]You can be married with four children.
[析]“和……结婚”只需用marry, 而不需接with, 因为marry为及物动词。marry sb. with a child意为“带着孩子改嫁”或“娶/嫁给一个有孩子的人”等。
e.她嫁给了一个律师。
[误]She married with a lawyer.
[误]She married to a lawyer.
[正]She married a lawyer.
[正]She was married to a lawyer.
[析]“嫁给某人”应说:marry sb.或be married to sb., 而不能说marry with/to sb.
