Question

求这两题非谓语题目的对比。

第一题，I have （ ）that nobody is allowed to smoke here.
A.made clear
C.made it clear
D.made things clear 那这道题为什么选c，不选D呢？

第二题She was glad that her success would （ ）for the women who would follow.
A.make things easier
B.make it easier
C.be easier
D.be easier to make
答案是选A
为什么不能选B？

Answer 1

1. I have made things clear. 如果选D，这句话到这里就完整了。 但是你后面有that从句， 所以用it， I have made it clear it指什么呢？ it 指that后面的从句， nobody is allowed to smoke here. 也就是说 I have made "Nobody is allowed to smoke here" 这件事情 clear.

2. 这个跟上面几乎正好是反过来的例子。 She was glad that her success would make things easier， 到这里就完整了， 后面for the women who would follow, 有没有， 对句子成分没有影响。 如果换成it, She was glad that her success would make it easier for the women who would follow, it指什么呢？

其实多读读， 掌握语感最重要。

Answer 2

1. things 是指很多事，但此时你是指一件事，这里不允许吸烟

2. for the women 复数，指很多女人，所以要指很多事 所以用things
