关于in favour of..

Answer 1

IN FRONT OF 不一定要跟is/am/are. 可以跟 noun
pronoun
adverb和其他的 verb (including verbal phrase). 我想至少有下列格式: (1) am/are/is/was/were + in favour of + someone/something I am (all) in favour of trying to find ways to save money. We are in favour of ine tax cut. (2) Action verb (including verbal phrase) + in favour of + someone/something 80% of the population voted in favour of the new regulation.

想问呢个 "in favor of" phrase 系咪一定要跟 is/am/are ? 吾系。 如果睇第一句...in favour of 系 verb? 吾系。 spoke 是 verb. 点解第一同第三句唔洗 is am are? 因为呢个 phrase 吾系一定要跟 is/am/are 。 不知道我这样是回答你了吗 ？
