Question

请帮我解答下列各题（要理由）
means of transpotation 当中的means是单数还是复数?
She was in deep sorrow at the news of her father's death.为什么news前面要用at而不是about.
What she said made all of us confused 为什么要用过去式?make 后面的动词是不是都要随时态的变化而变化.
With his work finished,he went home happily.为什么要用finished而不用finishing?
The committee consists of fifteen members.为什么不用被动式.
in spite of 怎么用?

Answer 1

means在这里是单复同行的 ,只有means表方式方法 ,mean不表示方式 .
我只能说是习惯搭配丫 .
confused在这里是形容词,是“困惑的”的意思,make后面动词的态要看动作
本身是主动还是被动,如果主动就用动词本身,如：what she said made us feel confused.被动就用过去分词,如：make yourself heard就是make yourself be heard,被别人听到.
his work 被完成了,所以用分词.
consist of表示由.组成.不需要被动
in spite of 不管,虽然,是连词,后面可接名词,名词短语,从句
I went out in spite of the rain.
顺便提一下意思差不多的despite介词,后面直接接名词,名词短语
they had a wonderful day,despite the bad weather.
