I know her children _____ (be) reliable.
填 to be,不填 being,也不填be。再举例如下:
We know her to be honest. 我们知道她很诚实。
They knew him to be a spy. 他们知道他是一个间谍。
They knew him to be a dangerous criminal. 他们知道他是个危险的罪犯。
如果不是动词 be,也可以省略 to。如:
I never knew him (to) act without thinking. 我从未发现他轻率行事过。
不过,如果 know 用于被动语态,或后面的不定式为完成式,通常不宜省略 to。如:
He was known to abuse alcohol. 他酗酒是众所周知的事。
He is known to have committed crimes. 众所周知他犯下了种种罪行。
