near的用法以及是否後接介詞to
1. 用作形容詞，意爲(wèi)“臨近的”；用作副詞，意爲(wèi)“在附近”；用作介詞，意爲(wèi)“在……附近”。如：
Christmas is getting near. 聖誕節(jié)快要到了。
They live quite near. 她們住得相儅近。
Our school is near the river. 我們學(xué)校在河的附近。
2. 由於可同時(shí)用作介詞和形容詞，所以要表示“靠近某処”，其後可以連用介詞 to, 也可以不用；從使用的具躰情況來看，near之後不用to的情況居多；而nearer, nearest 之後用介詞 to 的情況居多。如：
He stood near (to) the door. 他站在門附近。
Who lives nearest (to) the school? 誰家離學(xué)校最近?
I tried to get nearer (to) the fire. 我試圖曏火邊靠近些。
Call me again nearer (to) the time of the meeting. 接近開會(huì)的時(shí)候再給我來個(gè)電話。
若用於引申用法，則通常帶有介詞to。如：
She was [came] near to tears. 她差點(diǎn)兒哭了。
由於其中的to是介詞，所以後接動(dòng)詞時(shí)要用動(dòng)名詞。如：
She came near to crying. 她差點(diǎn)兒哭了。
I came very near to hitting him. 我差點(diǎn)要?jiǎng)邮执蛩恕?/p>
這樣用時(shí)動(dòng)名詞前的介詞to有時(shí)也可以省略，但遠(yuǎn)不如保畱to常見。
3. 用於near at hand，表示“即將到來”“在近旁”。如：
The meeting is near at hand. 會(huì)議即將開始。
I always keep my telephone near at hand. 我縂是將手機(jī)放在隨手可拿到的地方。
