it takes sb to do sth

Question

take后面一定要加sb人吗？ 不加人可不可以的？ 还有类似像pay、cost这类的词组 能不能做一个详细的解释

Answer 1

take 后面不一定要加sb 例如it takes much time to clean house 加sb 就是对于某人来说 例如it takes me half an hour to read English every morning pay的用法是 sb pay some money for sth cost的用法是 sth cost sb some money spend

Answer 2

我花了两个小时去学校。It took me two hours to go to school.去学校得用两个小时。It takes two hours to go to school. It take (sb.) some time/money to do sth. 可以用来表示花钱。而pay和cost不能用来表示花时间，只能用在花钱，（当然了，他们还有其他的搭配用法，比如付出代价）。 我买这本书花了2美元。it cost me 2 dollars to buy the book. / the book cost me 2 dollars. I paid 2 dollars for the book. / I paid 2 dollars to buy the book.
