warn意思是“警告,告诫,预先通知”,它可以用作及物动词,后面直接跟宾语。
比如:I tried to warn him, but he wouldn't listen.我设法提醒过他,可他就是不听。
有关动词warn的句型与搭配:
用作动词,表示“警告”“告诫”,注意以下句型和结构:
1. 用于 warn sb (not) to do sth, 表示“告诫某人(不)要做某事”。如:
He warned me not to touch it. 他警告我不要触碰它。
Ann warned me to read the instructions. 提醒我看看说明书。
2. 用于 warn sb against doing sth, 表示“告诫某人不要做或提防某事”(常可与 warn sb not to do sth 互换)。
如:
They warned him against swimming [=not to swim] in the lake. 他们告诫他不要在这湖里游泳。
3. 用于“warn sb+that-从句”,表示“警告某人……”。如:
He warned me (that) f was in danger. 他警告我处境危险。

4. 用于“warn sb+介词(against, about, of) +名词”。
如:

I warned him about those stairs. 我警告过他要注意(留意)那些楼梯。
注意,warn习惯上能后接双宾语,即不用于warn sb sth结构,可考虑改用warn sb of sth。
如:
我们警告过他有危险。
We warned him of the danger.
