既然“bring”只能做及物动词,为什么它还能经常和介词搭配(如bring in)?

回答如下:

及物动词bring后面必须有宾语,它还可以后跟直接宾语和间接宾语,即bring sb sth, 或者bring sth to sb。 你所给的例句中的(bring )in是副词,不是介词。in可以作介词和副词。例如:

They are in the room. (介词)

He works in the shop. (介词)

He is in. (副词)

She is getting in the wheat. (副词)

同样,动词短语bring up 、bring out、bring down、bring back中的up、out、down、back也都是副词。
