题目内容：

The teacher often tells Jim and John__too much time playing video games.
A.not to spend B.to not spend C.don't spend D.doesn't spend

优质解答

一句话只能有一个谓语,该句的谓语是“tells”,四个选项中C、D都是谓语(因为已经有谓语了,所以该空不能填谓语),而B不是谓语,但是语序不对,所以选A.
注意：“谓语”不等于“动词”,请参考语法中的“谓语”与“非谓语”章节.
另：tell sb.not to do sth.用法比较固定,可以记忆以下,下次用的时候就不用想语法了.
