Someone told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.
问题描述：
Someone told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.
这里的 steal 为什么是原型
为什么 thieves 前面没有the
原文在Someone 后面有 had 请问，Someone told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.与 Someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.意思都一样吗。这两种说法在语法上是否都正确。
答
steal前面是to,所以用原型,即try to do something
thieves前面不加the是因为不是特指哪些thieves
两个句子语法上都正确,但意思不一样,told那句是陈述一个事实,有人告诉了警察,后面had told一句是强调有人曾经告诉过警察.
