He decided to go out rather than stay at home. I asked Jane for help rather than doing it on my own. 这两个句子的ratHer than后面为什么一个用原型,一个用ing呢?求解答
那么是不是rather than后面动词的形式要根据前面的动词或者具体语境判断呢?
追答没错,就比如你第二句吧,I asked Jane for help rather than doing it on my own.
因为你前面是asked,过去式,是过去的事情了,用doing比较好
而如果我们稍微改一下这个句子变成 I want to ask Jane for help rather than to do it on my own。
这时候用 to do 就比较好,因为前面是want to 了,是未来的还没发生的事情

扩展资料:
意思相近词语:instead,英[ɪn'sted],美[ɪn'sted]
adv. 代替;反而
instead是副词,只能单独使用。基本意思是“代替”,可依据上下文灵活翻译,有时甚至干脆不译。
instead一般与of连用作为介词词组,后面可接名词和代词意外的词,如形容词,副词,动词和介词。
