Question

英语句子
We will spend a few hours _singing_ songs.
为什么不说We will spend a few hours to sing songs.
spend ...to do

Answer 1

按照一般的考查,spend 的用法主要集中在：
spend time or money on sth
spend time or money (in ) doing sth【v-ing做宾补】
而有时候,还会有异常考查,即考查与【目的状语】的搭配,但这时,更多的是用完成时态,而且应该有更强的语意暗示.不过,这类考题受到很多英语专家的抨击,因为大有【混淆视听,搞乱知识】的嫌疑.即：
spend time or money【to do sth=in order to do sth 不定式做目的状语】.例如：
They have spent quite a long time 【to finish 】the report on polution.
因此,习惯上,spend的搭配主要考察前两种.
