問 1
You （ ） a doctor about that cough ━ it has lasted too long.
- had better seeing
- have better see
- had better see
- had better to see
had better + V (原形)
had better + 動詞原形 = 「〜したほうがいい」(強い助言)。常に had (現在の意味でも)、否定は had better not。
"You ( ) a doctor about that cough ━ it has lasted too long" は強い助言 = 「had better see」。had better の特徴: ★ 常に had (現在の意味でも) ★ + 動詞原形 ★ 否定は had better not + V ★ should より強い助言 (警告的)。
「have better see」
= 常に had で固定 ━ had better。
「had better to see」
= to 不要 ━ 原形。
「had better seeing」
= 原形のみ ━ see。
