Question

Little Franz thought of nothing but____ football.
A.play B.to play C.played D.playing
这道题该选什么呢?原因?

Answer 1

选A吧.
do nothing／anything／everything but(except)结构.
例如：
Last night I did nothing but watch TV．昨天晚上,我除了看电视别的什么也没有干.
但是,如果谓语动词不是“do nothing,anything,everything”,那么but(except)所跟的不定式则仍须带.
The doctor told him nothing but to stop smoking．医生除了让他戒烟,其它什么都没有说.
There was nothing for them to do but to remain silent．除了保持沉默以外,他们没有别有别的办法.
