In the next cage was a tired,old lion,which did nothing except lie about and sleep.
老师,为什么 except 能直接连词动词,它后面是否省略了成分?
介词but/except后接不定式时,如果前面有实意动词do出现,其后的不定式的to通常省略。
这一点和不定式作表语时,如果主语部分有实意动词do出现,不定式的to 通常省略。例如:What he did was (to) tell the truth. tell the truth为不带to的不定式。
He did nothing but/except (to) tell the truth.
