11. Michael never dreamt of ______ for him to be sent abroad very soon.

Question

11. Michael never dreamt of ______ for him to be sent abroad very soon.
A. being a chance B. there’s a chance
C. there to be a chance D. there being a chance
选D,但那位高手帮忙讲解一下.

Answer 1

Michael从未想过很快就有出国的机会。

dream of 后面要接doing形式，而后面接的是there be句型，表示“有”机会，所以把be变换形式为being，of后面不能用原型或to be.
所以B,C错，D对。

A项，being a chance，“是”一个机会， 句意为Michael从没想过是一个机会。。。显然有误

Answer 2

本句结构为Michael never dreamt of + 从句，因为从句接在of后面作其宾语所以应该用ing形式，所以从句there is a chance for him to be sent abroad very soon改为there being a chance for him to be sent abroad very soon(因为从句是there be句型，其中be为动词，要对be做变化)

Answer 3

of是介词，所以后面得加动名词，又根据句意应该选“有”，所以应该选there being

Answer 4

dream of 后跟动词ing形式，所以这里的there be 句型用there being
