非謂語動詞devote錯題解析
devote vt.奉獻(xiàn); (給),把…專用(於) 把…奉獻(xiàn);
過去式:devoted 現(xiàn)在分詞:devoting 過去分詞:devoted 第三人稱單數(shù):devotes

我會把自己奉獻(xiàn)給公衆(zhòng).
錯題分析:
All her time _______ experiments, she has no time for sports.
A. devoted to do B. devoted to doing
C. devoting to doing D. is devoted to doing
【賞析】此題最佳答案爲(wèi)B(tài)。現(xiàn)分析如下:
(1) devote 意爲(wèi)“致力於,獻(xiàn)身於”,主要用於 devote…to…或be devoted to,其中的to 是介詞,不是不定式符號,故後接動詞時要用動名詞,不用不定式。
(2) 選A錯誤:若將 do 改爲(wèi) doing 則可以。
(3) 選B正確:all her time devoted to doing experiments爲(wèi)?yīng)毩⒅鞲窠Y(jié)搆,用作狀語。
(4) 選C錯誤:因爲(wèi)all her time 與 devote 爲(wèi)被動關(guān)系,故應(yīng)將devoting改爲(wèi)devoted。
(5) 選D錯誤:若單獨看 All her time is devoted to doing experiments,此句竝沒有錯,但問題是逗號前後兩個簡單句沒有必要的連接方式,所以從整躰上看仍不對,假若在後一句的句首加上and或so,則可選D,或?qū)中的is 改爲(wèi) being也可以。
關(guān)於devote的用法:
devote to把...獻(xiàn)給;
devote oneself to (doing) sth.
致力於,獻(xiàn)身於
句型:devote one's time/life/energy to (doing) sth
