语法与词汇

My assistant has not returned my paper yet, but she promised me to ready it by next Monday.

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

本题重点考查不定式作宾语的用法。画线部分中promise sb. to do sth.不是正确用法,正确用法是 promise sb. sth., promise + that-clause, promise sb. + that-clause或 promise to do sth.。四个选项中A、B、C都符合promise的正确用法,但是A和C出现时 态错误,故选B。
