comply, 與 conform 都是 不及物動詞,

無單獨存在的用法,

comply 必須搭配 介系詞 with,

( comply with ~ )

conform 必須搭配 介系詞 to ,

( conform to ~ )

後面才可加 受詞, 其意義 相同.

2.conformable 是 形容詞(/不是動詞),

前面 要搭配 be 動詞,

後面要 搭配 介系詞 to

( be conformable to )

3. conformity(/conformance)

是名詞(/不是動詞),

前面 必須 搭配 be 動詞 的慣用語 :

be in conformity with

= be in conformity to
