He insisted that he drive home after getting drunk last night , which made him caught and fined by the police .
=He insisted on driving home after getting drunk last night , which made him caught and fined by the police .
问:insist可为及物也可为不及物动词,那为何它在跟宾语从句时一直不跟on / upon 而是直接跟了that从句 ,此句可以写成:
He insisted on / upon that he drive home after getting drunk last night , which made him caught and fined by the police .
假如不能那为何insist在跟that宾从句时就成及物动词了,就不加on /upon 了,而有时跟宾语却又加了on /upon ?
that从句不可以作介词宾语。所以当insist on需要后接that从句时,只能省略介词。insist重新讲解为及物动词。
