定义 / 说明
高级语法控制不仅在于选哪个 reporting verb,还在于后接模式是否正确。有的接 -ing,有的接 to-infinitive,有的需“宾语 + to-infinitive”,有的接 that-clause。比如 deny doing、advise someone to do、insist that...。这类错误常见于“意思对了但语法错了”。掌握模式后,口笔语都会更准确自然。
关键规则
- 以 verb + pattern 方式学习 reporting verbs。
- 常见模式:deny + -ing, admit + -ing, advise + object + to-infinitive, persuade + object + to-infinitive。
- insist 可用 insist that + clause 或 insist on + -ing/noun,取决于语义。
- 不要假设意义相近就一定语法相同。
- 词典常清晰标注模式,建议按词块记忆。
例句
- He denied taking the money. - 他否认拿了钱。

- She insisted that she was right. - 她坚持自己是对的。
