题目

and连接前后动词时态相同,那如果有词组应怎么填
The doctor told the man to write a letter and the money to his brother
处应填return还是returned

答案

填return.
并列时要注意找出并列的究竟是哪两部分,你的句子中,显然医生告诉他两件事,一个是写信,一个是还钱.所以to write和to return并列,避免重复直接使用return就可以.
假如是医生告诉这人去寄一封信然后就匆匆忙忙赶去医院了,The doctor told the man to send a letter and hurried to the hospital,因为这里是医生做了两件事,一是告诉别人去寄信,一是赶去医院,那么told和hurried是并列的所以用过去式.
注意弄清到底哪两者并列就可以.
