关于lead……to

Question

Her patience and determination to understand animals __D__ him to choose her for the study.
A.devoted B.let C.made D.led
后面是to choose而不是to choosing，说明这个to不是介词，可lead……to的to是介词啊，为什么正确答案是填led呢？

Answer 1

lead sb. to do:带领某人做
lead sb.to do sth.:致使某人做某事

lead sb. to do/doing
（即lead……to后可接doing或do）看情况而定

lead sb to do sth跟lead sb to doing sth有区别

区别：
1.lead sb to do sth 带领某人去做某事,(新的事,还没开始做)

lead sb doing sth 带领某人做某事(正在做,接着做)

注： lead sb. to do 带领某人作某事，lead sb into doing sth表示的是同一个意思，另外还可以用lead to+ n./v-ing,意思是"导致...，通向..."。如：Hard work leads to success.Laziness leads to failing the exam.

相关例句：
1.Ironically, this may lead you to doing more instead of less.

具有讽刺意味的是，无聊也许会导致你做更多而不是更少的事情。

2.Perhaps his example will lead more filmmakers to do the same.

或许他这个榜样会引领其他更多的导演去仿效。
