give 和 buy 都是受與動詞,這類動詞的最大特色就是可以有兩個受詞(通常一個為人,一個為物)。
而一般及物動詞後只能接一個受詞。
其他這類的動詞還有send, write, bring, ask 等。
所以你可以說
They gave me a book. = They gave a book to me.
They bought me a book. = They bought a book for me.
但是當東西受詞放在前面時,人受詞前要加個介系詞。這就是要背的地方了
+ to 的授與動詞有: give, lend, send, write, bring, deliever, show, pay, offer
+ for 的有: buy, do, make, choose, get
+ of 的有: ask
醬暸嗎?
