about后面能跟howtodo吗

Question

about后面能跟how to do吗

Answer 1

语法学家会告诉你,about 要接名词或从句,比如
Tell me about your trip to Canada:
Tell me about how you plan to write this article.
但我常看到 about + how to 的句型,比如
For more information about how to download files from the internet,please see the next chapter.（此句摘自微软手册）
Read about how to create your first movie.
这说明英语为第一语言者已经习惯于把 how to 开头的短语当名词短语来用.
由于英语是一个很灵活的语言,我的看法是这个用法今天已经被接受了.
