動詞句型:make/let、stop doing vs stop to do
🎯 這一課你會學會
補幾個很常用、又容易錯的動詞句型:make / let / help(叫某人做…)、以及同一個動詞後接 -ing 或 to 意思不同的情況(stop / remember / forget)。這些搞懂,表達會精準很多。
💬 先聽一段對話
Mia: You look busy.（你看起來很忙。) Jun: Yeah, my boss made me finish the report today. But she let me leave early after.（對,老闆叫我今天做完報告。不過之後讓我早退。) Mia: Nice. Did you remember to send it?（不錯。你記得寄出去了嗎?) Jun: Oops — I stopped to grab coffee and forgot!（糟——我停下來買咖啡,結果忘了!)
🔑 兩組重點
① make / let / help + 人 + 原形(不加 to)
- make + 人 + 原形 = 迫使/叫某人做:She made me wait.
- let + 人 + 原形 = 允許某人做:He let me go.
- help + 人 + (to) 原形 = 幫某人做(to 可加可不加):I helped her (to) move.
② 同動詞 + -ing vs + to,意思不同
- stop doing（停止做)vs stop to do（停下來去做)
- remember / forget doing（記得/忘記做過)vs to do（記得/忘記要做)
🧩 文法點
① make / let 後面接「原形」,不加 to(常錯):
- ✅ My mom made me clean my room. ❌ made me
to clean - ✅ They let us stay. ❌ let us
to stay - 但被動時 make 要加 to:I was made to wait.（進階,先知道)
② stop / remember / forget:接 -ing 還是 to,意思差很多:
| 動詞 | + -ing | + to |
|---|---|---|
| stop | stop smoking 戒菸(停止那活動) | stop to smoke 停下來去抽菸(為了抽而停) |
| remember | remember locking 記得鎖過了(回憶) | remember to lock 記得要去鎖(任務) |
| forget | forget meeting 忘了見過(回憶) | forget to call 忘了要打(沒做到) |
- 訣竅:-ing 指「已經做過的事(回憶/活動)」;to 指「要去做的事(任務/目的)」。
- I stopped eating sugar.（不再吃糖)vs I stopped to eat.（停下來去吃)
- Please remember to call me.（別忘了要打)vs I remember calling you.（我記得打過)
③ try doing vs try to do(順帶):
- try to do = 努力嘗試(可能難):I tried to open it.（試著打開,可能沒成功)
- try doing = 試試看這個方法:Try turning it off and on.（試試關機再開)
📒 高頻單字
| 單字 | KK 音標 | 中譯 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| make | /mek/ | 使、叫 | She made me do it. |
| let | /lɛt/ | 讓、允許 | Let me help.（讓我幫忙。) |
| remember | /rɪˈmɛmbɚ/ | 記得 | Remember to call. |
| forget | /fɚˈɡɛt/ | 忘記 | Don't forget! |
| allow | /əˈlaʊ/ | 允許(+ 人 + to) | They allowed me to go.（allow 要加 to) |
注意:let 不加 to,但 allow 要加 to:let me go / allow me to go。
🗣️ 發音提醒
- made me 連讀「made-mee」;let me →「let-mee」。
- remember /rɪˈmɛmbɚ/:重音在中間 mem。
- forget /fɚˈɡɛt/:重音在後 get。
✍️ 開口練習
練習 1:加 to 還是不加?
- She made me ＿ (wait). → wait（不加)
- They let us ＿ (leave). → leave（不加)
- They allowed us ＿ (leave). → to leave（allow 加 to)
練習 2:-ing 還是 to?
- Remember ＿ (lock) the door!（任務)→ to lock
- I stopped ＿ (eat) meat.（不再吃)→ eating
- I stopped ＿ (buy) coffee on the way.（為了買而停)→ to buy
練習 3:講一件「別人叫你做」和一件「別人讓你做」的事。
My ＿ made me ＿. My ＿ let me ＿.
🎒 帶走
- make / let + 人 + 原形(不加 to);help 加不加都行;allow 要加 to。
- stop/remember/forget + -ing(已做過的事)vs + to(要去做的事)——意思不同。
