(Nelson, 300 A)
我不知道選C(to complain) 正確, 還是選D(complain) 正確。查了半天文法書和辭典也未查到答案。
答:這裡應該牢記: why (not) 只能跟不帶to 的不定詞。why not do 這個結構常常用來表示建議:
- Why not try to train your character?
為什麼不努力鍛煉自己的性格呢? - Why not wait till the winter sales to buy a new coat?
為什麼不等到冬季大拍賣時再買一件新外衣呢?
小練習:請選出爭正確的答案。(留言作答)

A. to worry
