Illness

When you're ill, you can describe your symptoms (changes in your body which show that you're ill) in the following ways:

You can use have got + ache (when it forms part of a compound² noun) with only 5 parts of the body:

I've got (a) backache

She’s got (a) stomach-ache

He’s got a headache

You’ve got (an) earache³

He's got (a) toothache

注意:以上这种用身体部位+ache的合成词来表达哪里疼的方式，只有5种情况。

Note: All of these aches except headache are usually uncountable in British English so you don't use a or an with them. In American English, all these aches are countable⁴ so you use a or an with them.

You can use hurt/ache (verb) with any part of the body:

My leg hurts

His stomach aches

My toes hurt

His hands ache

You can use sore (adjective) with any part of the body:

I’ve got a sore arm

She’ got a sore leg

He’s got a sore toe

You've got a sorehead

You can use pain (noun) with any part of the body:

I feel a pain in my leg.

She’s got a pain in her stomach

He has a pain his toe

You can use be or feel + ill/sick/unwell (adjective) or feel + awful (adjective) to talk about your health in general:

就一般情况而言，要描述自己不舒服，可以用:I am/feel+ill/sick/unwell; I feel awful.的句子来表达。
