有一读者问: see, hear等动词后应接“宾语+不带to的不定式”,但有时为何却可后接带to的不定式?
see, hear等动词后接带to不定式的情况一般有两种。一种见于被动结构,如:
(1)He was seen to go upstairs.
(2)Somebody was heard to cry.
(3)She was made to go.
另一种情况比较特殊,只出现在较文气的英语里,如:
(4)I saw her corral lips to move.
(5)Money makes the mare to go. (谚语)
(6)She felt her feet to be stone-cold on the floor. (有的语法家认为这种表状态的to be用得较多)
