inform后面不跟雙賓語， He has informed me his new address.這個(gè)句子是錯(cuò)誤的，應(yīng)在his前加介詞of。
inform后可加賓語再接that引導(dǎo)從句，但不能直接跟that引導(dǎo)從句。 I have to inform that I have removed to the above given address.應(yīng)在inform后加賓語you。
inform可表示“告訴”，但是用tell會比較普通；
inform表示“向某人報(bào)告”，而不是“報(bào)告”，因此后面不可直接加事件的詳情。 He has informed his new address to me.He has informed me of his new address.第二個(gè)句子才是正確的。
v.(動詞)inform的基本意思是“通知,告知”,用作及物動詞時(shí),接名詞或代詞作賓語,也可接雙賓語,其直接賓語可由帶疑問詞的動詞不定式或that/wh-從句充當(dāng)。
inform用作不及物動詞時(shí),可作“檢舉,告密”解,常與介詞against〔on〕連用。
