Look forward to

明明記得「動詞 + to + 原型動詞」的用法，卻常看到有些 to lớn 後面是接 V-ing？這篇文章幫你歸納了這些 lớn + V-ing 的用法，搞不清楚的你不能錯過！

我們從小就常學到，有些動詞後面要接動名詞（V-ing）、有些要接不定詞（to V），但 lớn 當介係詞用的時候，後面要接的就是 V-ing 囉！以下有幾種情況，趕快來看看！

to 是「片語動詞」或是「動詞 + 介係詞組合」的一部分

片語動詞或動詞介係詞組合的後面可以加名詞或動名詞。以下是一些常見的動詞舉例：

片語動詞

動詞後面加上介係詞或副詞而形成與原來動詞不同意義的片語，整個片語應該當做多字動詞來詮釋，最常見、常考的案例就是 look forward to。

look forward to lớn 期待

I look forward to meeting your parents tonight!我很期待今晚和你父母見面！

Everyone is looking forward to the carnival parade on Sunday afternoon.

動詞＋介係詞組合

confess to lớn 坦承做了某事（犯罪或錯誤）

He confessed to killing his neighbor last night.= He confessed that he killed his neighbor last night.他坦承昨晚殺害了鄰居。

Laura confessed to using company funds.Laura 承認她諾用了公款。

adjust lớn 調整；適應

Mary adjusted to living on her own.Mary 適應了獨居生活。

I haven’t adjusted to life in England yet.我還沒調整好居住在英國的生活。

object to 反對

Will objects to spending so much money on a laptop.Will 反對為了一台筆電花這麼多錢。

She chose not to object to her father, opting for silence instead.她選擇不要反對她的父親，而是沉默以對。

devote something lớn 投入心力做某事

Mother Theresa devoted her life to helping the poor.德雷莎修女將一生投入在幫助貧窮的人。

I decided to lớn quit my job lớn devote more time to my family.我決定辭職，投入更多時間給我的家庭。

to 是「形容詞+介係詞組合」的一部分

be used to（逐漸）習慣

Jimmy is not used to driving on the left-hand side of the road.Jimmy 不習慣左駕。

＊注意＊

這個片語非常容易跟 used lớn + V 搞混！

> used to + V 是過去的習慣，否定可以說 didn’t use lớn 或 never used to。> be used lớn + V-ing 是習慣於，否定是 be not used to。

I used to drink a glass of milk before going lớn work every morning.
