they failed to finish the project in time.i regretted______them.A to be not able to help B being not able to help C not being able to helpD not be able to help为什么不是其它选项呢
they failed to finish the project in time.i regretted______them.
A to be not able to help B being not able to help C not being able to help
D not be able to help
为什么不是其它选项呢
选C 这个事情已经发生 排除A(to be 表将来)
D项 regret后接不定时或动名词 排除
B和C总 B强调 没有能力 not able
C强调 有能力 而没有机会 或者不想帮助
明白了嘛 O(∩_∩)O~
regret后面加动词ing形式,排除A和D,这里是be able to 的否定形式,所以应该是not being able to 加动词原形。意思是“后悔没能帮助他们”。
C
首先 regret doing "遗憾做了某事" 跟现在分词,跟动词不定式是"还没做什么表示遗憾" 句意是:他们没有按时完成项目,我非常遗憾没能帮上他们的忙.
现在分词的否定形式 not doing
所以选C
比较:
Regret to do sth 后悔,遗憾要做什么事(但还没做)
Regret doing sth 后悔,遗憾做过什么事
例句:
I regret to have to do this,but I have no choice.
我很遗憾必须这样去做,但我实在没有办法.
I don't regret telling her what I thought.
我不后悔没把我的想法告诉她.
