Nakay702 様 度々ご回答いただきありがとうございます。「この場合のnot to use~は名詞句であるということ」確かにおっしゃるとおりです。なるほど。だいぶ勘違いをしていたようです。受験の時には不定詞の◯◯用法というのは確かに習ったのですが、その後英語をやり直す際に、ある書籍に載っていた「不定詞は足りないものを補う」と考え方を目にし単純に足りなければ不定詞で補えばよい、と勝手な解釈をしていたようです。大変勉強になりました。この気付きはとても大きかったです。勘違いをしたまま学習を続けてしまうところでした。ありがとうございます。 ※自分の誤りにしっかり気付くため、この部分についてはもう少し色々な方々の考えも聞いて参考にさせていただきたいと考えています。同様の文章を用いて別な形で再度こちらのサイトに質問をしてみたいと思っておりますので、そちらはご了承いただければと思います。 大変勉強になりました。ありがとうございました。
