promise to do sth(不定式作賓語)
promise sb. to do sth.（后接雙賓語）
promise (sb)that – clause
(that-clause為賓語從句)
如：①He promises me to buy a bike for my birthday gift.
②He promises me that he will buy a bike for my birthday gift.
2.pretend to be a lawyer
該結(jié)構(gòu)中pretend 意為“裝扮”，“裝假”，后跟不定式或賓語從句 。其中不定式（有時態(tài)變化）是試題中的重點考查形式。如：
When mother came in, be pretended to be writing .

7.when you show none

①when在本句中，相當(dāng)于if,引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句，意為“既然”。如：
How can I help them to understand when they won’t listen to
me?
②when意為“當(dāng)……的時候”，“在……時”，引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。

8.so young a body
說明：在一個帶有形容詞的名詞詞組中，不定冠詞a/an 通常放在adj.的前面。但是，如果adj.前有so, too, how,quite時，a/an應(yīng)放 adj.的后面。其結(jié)構(gòu)是：so/too/how/quite+adj.+a/an +n.。如：
①He is so good a student.

14.help to do sth.
該動賓結(jié)構(gòu)意為“有助于干某事”，且不定式符號to 可以省略，即構(gòu)成help do sth.的表達形式。如：

題3 （NMET 1992）
Little Jim should love _____________to the theatre this evening.
A.to be taken B.to take
C.being taken D.taking
分析：A。表示將來的意愿，little Jim是動詞take 的承受者，故應(yīng)用不定式的被動式。
題4 （NMET 1999）
Robert is said ___________abroad, but I don’t know which country he studied in.
A.to have studied B.to study
C.to be studying D.to have been studying

題5 （NMET 2001春）
___________late in the morning,Bob turned off the alarm clock.
A.To sleep B.Sleeping C.Sleep D.Having slept
分析：A。句意為“為了早上多睡會兒，Bob關(guān)了鬧鐘”。所以不能選B、D，又因為該句不是祈使句，不能用動詞原形形式，即不能選擇C。

-Mum, why do you always make me eat an egg every day?
-___________enough protein and nutrition as you are growing up.
A.Get B.Getting C.To get D.To be getting
