“provide”后接doing还是to do？
在英语学习中，动词 provide 的用法常常让人困惑：它后面到底该接 doing（动名词）还是 to do（不定式）？本文将为你详细解析。
✅ 正确用法：provide + 名词/代词 + to do
动词 provide 通常表示“提供”，其常见结构为：
provide + [something] + for + [someone]provide + [someone] + with + [something]
但当涉及“提供机会/条件让某人做某事”时，常用结构是：
They provided him with an opportunity to study abroad.
The program provides students a chance to practice speaking.
注意：这里使用的是 to do（不定式），而不是 doing。
❌ 常见错误：provide + doing
直接在 provide 后接动名词（doing）通常是不正确的：
❌ They provided him studying abroad.
✅ They provided him with the chance to study abroad.
🧠 小结
provide 本身不直接接动词原形或动名词。若要表达“提供做某事的机会/资源”，应使用：
provide [someone] with [something] to do
或
provide [something] for [someone] to do
