请先看2007年山东省的一道高考题：
Please remain_______until the plane has come to a complete stop.
A. to seat B. to be seated
C. seating D. seated
解析： 答案为D。此题考查了remain的用法。remain意为保持某种状态，seated表状态，意为“坐着的”。
remain一词，用法较为复杂，许多同学对其用法不清楚，下面将remain的用法归纳如下：
一、 用作联系动词，指某人或某事物仍保持某种状态，意为“仍然；依旧”，“留；呆；住；待”，后面可接名词、代词、形容词、介词短语、分词作表语。
1. 接名词作表语
Peter became a manager, but Jack remained a worker. 彼得成为了一个经理，而杰克仍然是个工人。
It remained a secret. 这仍然是个秘密。
2. 接形容词作表语
Whatever achievements you’ve made, you should remain modest. 无论你取得多么大的成就，你都该保持谦虚。
3. 接介词短语作表语
He had to remain in hospital until he was better. 他不得不一直住院直到身体好些。
4. 接分词作表语
接过去分词作表语,表示主语所处的状态或已经发生的被动动作；现在分词作表语，表示正在进行的主动动作。
The guests came in, but she remained sitting at the desk reading.客人们都来了，但她还坐在写字台旁读书。
As before, he remained unmoved. 他和以往一样无动于衷。
二、用作不及物动词，意思是“剩下；剩余；遗留”，此时不能用进行时态，也没有被动语态。
After the fire, very little remained of his house. 火灾过后，他的家所剩无几。
After the earthquake, very little remained of the city of Tangshan. 地震过后，唐山这座城市所剩无几。
三、指某事“尚待、有待于以后被处置”，后面常接不定式的被动形式，表示主语是不定式的承受者。
Many problems remain to be solved. 有好多问题尚待解决。
It remains to be seen whether you are right. 你是否正确，以后见分晓。
四、remain作名词
remain作名词时表示“剩余物”,一般用其复数形式。例如：
The archeologists found some remains of the Song Dynasty.考古学家发现了一些宋代遗迹。
五、remaining的用法
remaining是形容词,意为“剩余的”,常作前置定语；而left则只能作后置定语。例如：
There are still some apples left. 还剩余一些苹果。
I bought a gift for her with the remaining money. 我用剩余的钱给她买了一件礼物。
六、stay与remain
1. 作联系动词，指某人或某物“继续保持某一状态(continue to be)”时，常可互换。
They remain / stay friends for many years. 他们的友谊持续了好多年。
The shop stays / remains open till night.这家店铺一直营业到晚上。
2. 表示主语“暂时停留在某处”时，两者可以互换。
Stay / Remain here until I come back. 一直呆在这里，直到我回来。
I remained / stayed in London till May. 我在伦敦一直呆到五月。
注意：“呆在那里”可以说remain / stay there, 但“呆在家里”只能说stay (at) home。
3. 表示在某处住（若干天），常用stay。
Why don’t you come to stay with us next time you are here? 下次来时，住我们这里吧。
4. 当表示别人已离去或事情有变动后，某人或某物仍保持原来的状态时，多用remain。
Only a few leaves remained (= were still) on the tree. 树上只剩下几片叶子了。
