little
too
salty.
Your
reason
sounds
reasonable.
The
material
has
worn
thin.
The
door
blew
open.
The
news
has
proven
true.
二、某些与can't、won't连用的动词，如：
It
can't
move.
The
windows
won't
open.
The
rusty
screw
wouldn't
come
lose.
The
pen
won't
write.
Meat
won't
keep
long
in
such
hot
weather.
三、表示主语的特征或性质的动词，如：
This
knife
cuts
well.
These
books
sell
well.
The
pen
writes
smoothly.
The
cloth
washes
well.
