Question

_____ the night, we did nothing but _____ there, waiting for him to come.

A．All through; sit	B．All over; to sit
C．Whole; sitting	D．Throughout; sat

Answer 1

A

“整个夜晚”可以说the whole night, all the night, all through the night, throughout the night，而表示“整个（地方）”可以用all over/throughout+地点。介词but表示“除了”时，如果前面出现do/did/does等do的有关形式，but后面接不带to的不定式，反之，要加上to。
