忽然想起初中时候的英语老师曾经教过的一个口诀,就是关于动词不定式可以省掉to的动词,叫作:一感(feel)、二听(指hear,listen 要加 to)、三让(make,let,have)、四看(see,notice,watch,observe);半帮help。 / L u( }: R% E/ ~( i " c: J0 L' F ~# w5 t. b, _为啥叫半帮help呢,就是说在动词不定式中,help somebody to do something,这个to是可以省略的,所以算半个。但是,要强调的是,如果用于被动语态,to不可省。/ e0 s+ p7 t- u- f& b

不知道筒子们对这个“半帮help”的说法有印象吗?——我不记得是哪位初中英语老师教的我了,因为我分别在苏州和济南读过初中,呵呵。
