Parse answer B.Sentence meaning: Come here, Betty, I'll show you something.Oh, how kind of you!I never said you would give me a present.This is a conversation in the present time, but it describes something that happened in the past, so the past tense should be used.The main clause uses the past tense, which must affect the use of the predicate tense of the object clause. The action of the subordinate clause occurs after the action of the main clause, so the past and future tense is applied.

When think is used to introduce a negative concept, it is usually to turn think into a negative.Such as: I don't think it will rain. I don't think it will rain. "Consider doing something', think of doing something" in English, think means "consider doing" and is generally not used in conjunction with the infinitive.But Jia has an infinitive usage, which is mainly used in the past tense at this time, expressing 'original thought' or "expected". The phrase "do you think" is often inserted between the interrogative word and other components of a special interrogative sentence At this time, we should pay attention to the role of special interrogative words in the sentence. After the think verb, when the real object is a clause or an infinitive, and there are object complements, it is often used as a formal object. Example: I think it a great honor to be invited to visit your country. I am very honored to be invited to visit your country. The modal overword should is often used together with the perfect form of think, which means "should have been? ? ", but implying that this is not the case. It is often used to speculate on past situations. think of is often used in conjunction with what to express "how do you feel" and ask for your opinion on a certain issue. How is generally used in conjunction with the verb like in this situation Example: What do you think of the film? What do you think of the film?

In the following situations, the infinitive can omit to, but only use the original verb (ought to, used to, be to, have to structure, do not omit to) The infinitive of the verb as the object complement after the following verbs is omitted to, let, make (make, force), see, hear, feel, watch, notice, help (in informal style), have (make someone do something).When the above verbs are used in the passive voice, they still need to be followed by an infinitive with to.Common why plus the original form of the verb guides interrogative sentences, and why not adds the original form of the verb to make suggestions and advise.When emphasizing the indirect object, whether to add for or to before the indirect object is mainly determined by the predicate verb.Example: The headmaster asked some questions of the class. The headmaster asked some questions of the students.But there are also individual verbs that use of neither to nor for when the indirect object is emphasized.
