我觉得不宜加 what。因为这里 than seemed necessary 涉及形式主语和外置主语的省略:He spent longer on it than seemed necessary.= He spent longer on it than it seemed necessary that he should spend.= He spent longer on it than it seemed necessary for him to spend.另外,《牛津英语用法指南》也有类似提示:...

对于网友的这个问题,我与前面两位老师的看法有所不同,但有些地方我也没有把握,提出来向大家请教!对于网友的句子,我的初步理解是(即同意网友的理解):The price was higher than he wished to pay.(正确用法)The price was higher than the price that he wished to pay.(是否符合语法值得怀疑) 网友的句子出自《...

书上的说法不算准确,你的感觉是对的。根据 L. G. Alexander 的 Longman English Grammar,in case 分句完全可以用 might 的。

take action 和 take actions 都可以说,但从使用情况来看,前者远比后者常见。不过,也有词典只收录了 take actions 而没有收录 take action,如《牛津英语同义词学习词典》的actions词条,就只列了to take actions / measures / steps。

根据韦氏高阶,cut back 表示“减少”时可用作及物或不及物动词,但涉及“使用”(use)时,为不及物动词(不接宾语,或后接介词on再接宾语);涉及“大小或数量”(size or amount)时,为及物动词,可直接后接宾语。网友的句子后接 the use of...作宾语,所以此时的 cut back 为不及物动词,其后应有介词 on:但事实上,我查了...
