1 return 作及物動詞用時,表示“歸還,還給”,后面不可再用back,因為return 本身就相當于give back,結構為:
return sb. +sth.
return sth. to sb.
He has returned the books to the library. 他已經(jīng)把書還給圖書館了。
You haven't returned her the money yet. 你還沒有把錢還給她呢 。
You haven't returned the money to her yet.
2 return 作不及物動詞用時,表示“返回,回到”,相當于go back或come back,也不可同back連用。
He returned home last night. 他昨天夜里回家來的。(=come back home)
She will return to the factory in a week. 她將在1周后返回工廠。(=go back to the factory)
比較
return是非延續(xù)性動詞,與go, come, leave, start, begin等動詞一樣,不可與表示一段時間的狀語連用。
He has returned home for a month . (誤)
He returned home a month ago . (正)
It is a month since he returned home. (正)他回家已經(jīng)一個月了。
