Question

”people love to listen to him”中”him”前为什么要用”to”?

Answer 1

因为listen是不及物动词,必须要后加介词才能跟名词.英语中,动词分为及物于不及物两类.

及物动词后直接加名词作宾语,例如,

ride a bike (骑车),

light a cigar (点燃雪茄烟),

watch a movie (看电影)

不及物动词 + to/for/at + 名词,例如,

listen to the radio (听广播),

aim at the target (瞄准靶子),

speak to the audience (对听众说)
