thank表示“感謝”，習慣上只接“人”作賓語，而不能接“事”作賓語：
正：Thank you for your help 。
誤：Thank your help 。
另外的用法：
1. have sb to thank for (doing) sth 歸功于，如：
I have my parents to thank for my success 。
2. thank your lucky stars 感謝你的幸運之星，口語中用于表達幸運，尤其是躲過了不愉快或危險的事 。如：
Just thank your lucky stars you weren’t in the house at the time 。
appreciate
(adj 。) appreciative (inappreciative)； (n 。) appreciation
appreciate作為“感激”解釋時是及物動詞，常用搭配：appreciate doing sth，后跟動名詞或代詞it代指的事情 。習慣上只能接“事”作賓語(object)，而不能接“人”作賓語：
正：I’d appreciate some help 。
誤：I’d appreciate you for some help 。
I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t mention it.
如果你不提它，我會很感激 。
appreciate也指“欣賞”，有“對某事物有一定的興趣及認識”的含義，如：

【怎么感謝尺度合適 thank的幾種用法】此外，在商業書信來往中，appreciate一字出現率頗高，但其意和上面提及的“欣賞”音樂有所不同；如：
We greatly appreciate your getting the goods to us at such short notice 。
在這句里，“We greatly appreciate.”和“Thank you for.”含意相同 。
appreciate的第三個意思是“(對一種情況或問題的)理解”，如
I fully appreciate your concern. We will do all in our power to help 。
appreciate的另一用法是指某東西“增值”，是不及物動詞，如：
Their investments have appreciated over the years 。
大家有沒有留意到appreciate解作升值時是不需接賓語(object)的？
grateful
(反)ungrateful; (n 。) gratitude (ingratitude)
grateful沒有相應的動詞，它的常用搭配是be grateful to sb for sth，或者后面跟不定式或that從句，如：
I am extremely grateful to all the teachers for their help 。
She seems to think I should be grateful to have a job at all 。
He was grateful that she didn’t tell his parents about the incident 。
另外，grateful也可用于表達請求，這種用法在書信或者其他正式場合用得比較多，如：
I would be grateful if you could send the completed form back as soon as possible 。
除了上述的用法區別之外，thank, appreciate和grateful在表達情感上也有略微的區別：
“When you are ‘grateful’ to someone, you can sometimes feel a little ‘beholden’ to them. It creates a feeling of ‘owingness’.” 也就是說grateful帶有一點“義務”的性質 。
而另一方面，”When we appreciate someone or something there is a feeling of ending. There is a feeling of finality. We do not feel the need to pay this person back.” 當我們用appreciate有點意味著這件事的結束，不需要再做什么回報 。
另外，oblige (vt 。) 一詞也有“使感激”的意思，如：
I’m much obliged to you. 我非常感謝你 。
不過oblige更常見的含義是“迫使”，如：
Parents are obliged by law to send their children to school 。
