Question

My father works in Canada，but now he is with us in Shanghai．He will________Canada in five days．

1. A.
   return
2. B.
   go back to
3. C.
   come back to
4. D.
   give back to

Answer 1

B
分析：return有三个解释：1)come back(回来)2)go back(回去)3)give back(归还)。在使用时的介词搭配也和用这三个英语解释时的搭配相同：come back to Shanghai＝return to Shanghai(回到上海来)(人在上海说话)／go back to Beijing＝return to Beijing(回到北京去)(人不在北京说话)／give this book back to him＝give back this book to him(可以说give this book back，但如果是代词的话就必须说成give it back)＝return this book to him＝return him this book从上面所述可以看到1)return作为“回来”“回去”解释时不需要注意“方向”(但come back，go back要注意方向)，是不及物动词。2)return作为“归还”解释时是及物动词。本题说话人在上海，因此my father将回到Canada去。答案中return后面少了to，come back to方向不对，give back to(归还)和句意不符。
