Question

【题目】His mother often tells him________ too much time playing games.

A.not to spendB.don't spend

C.spendsD.spending

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

句意：他的母亲经常告诉他不要花太多时间玩游戏。

固定短语tell sb to do意思是“告诉某人做某事”，其否定形式tell sb not to do意思是“告诉某人不要做某事”，此短语后面不跟doing，只能跟to do，这里是动词不定式做宾语him的补足语。所以排除谓语动词B. don't spend和C. spends，故选A。
