afford不是及物动词吗？那为什么是afford to do sth而不是 afford do

Question

afford不是及物动词吗？那为什么是afford to do sth而不是 afford do sth？

Answer 1

afford to do sth 意思是“有足够的钱/时间去做某事”.
当然也可以直接说成：afford sth.
afford to do sth中,afford还是及物动词,不定式to do sth做其宾语.
如：I can't afford to buy this car.
= I can't afford this car.
我没有足够的钱来买这辆小汽车.

Answer 2

这里的及物动词是后面跟名词的你知道吧！afford do sth，如果后面跟个动词，就要用动词不定时来跟了

Answer 3

afford sth.
afford to do sth.
要助动词等才是后面直接加原型，跟是不是及物动词无关哦
