书上说能接there to be形式作宾语的及物动词不多,例如:
We expect there to be no argument.
I want there to be no mistake about this.
Bill intend there to be a meeting afterwards.
...
又说,在某些只能跟-ing分词,不能跟to-不定式的及物动词后,要用there being形式:
The committee anticipated there being less justification in the second case.
我想请教老师:
是否可以这样理解:我们经常见到例如ask sb to do sth, 或 want to sb to do sth 这样的结构用法,
如果一个动词如果可以使用这种结构: V+ sb + to do sth, 那么也就可以使用 V + there+ to do/be sth 呢?
同样的推断,如果一个动词可以使用这种结构: V + sb + doing sth,那么也可以使用 V + there + doing/being sth 呢?
麻烦老师批评指正分析! 非常感谢!
