★Step2Grammarfocuslearning【语法学习】

动词不定式作宾语补足语

一、宾语补足语的含义

宾语补足语指在英语中有些及物动词接宾语后意义仍不完整，还需要有一个其他的句子成分，来补充说明宾语的意义、状态等。宾语和它的补足语构成复合宾语。

二、动词不定式作宾语补足语的形式

1.带to的不定式。

可以接带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语的常见动词有advise,allow,ask,cause,encourage,tell,expect,want,warn,force,get,help,invite,order,permit,prefer,remind,wish,teach等。

E.g.Sheaskedherroommatetoturndownthemusic.她请室友把音乐关小一些。

TheWorldWideFundforNature(WWF)chosethepandatobeitssymbol.世界自然基金会选择了大熊猫(形象)作为其标志。

【注意】以上动词后接不定式作宾语补足语时，若要表达否定的意思，要在todo前加not，构成nottodo的形式。例如:

MrHantoldusnottomaketoomuchnoise.韩先生告诉我们不要弄出太大声音。

Jackietoldmenottotouchanything.Jackie告诉我不要碰任何东西。

2.不带to的不定式。

有些动词后接不定式作宾语补足语时，不带to。常见动词有see,watch,hear,notice,have,let,make,listento,lookat等。

E.g.I'llhaveTonyshowyouaroundtheschool.我会让Tony带你参观校园。

Hiswordsmadeeveryonelaugh.他的话让大家哄堂大笑。
