请教1:The new contract (forbids a strike by the transportation union). (A) forbids a strike by the transportation union (B) forbids the transportation union from striking
为什么选a不选b呢?forbid 的用法中,是有forbid sb from doing sth 的啊,况且,b中主动语态不是更好么?
请教2: One of every two new businesses fail within two years. (A) fail (B) fails (C) should fail (D) may have failed (E) has failed 这里的within短语前面应该用什么时态?是表示一般的情况还是说在最近的两年内?选b还是e我犹豫不决。 请赐教!
I agree with you that ETS is disgusting. I can't find "forbid sb from doing sth" in OG. In dictionaries, this usage seems only in passive voice instead of active. Women are forbidden from going out without a veil. He is forbidden from leaving the country.
However, (stop, prohibid, restrict) sb from Ving is ok!
