Sentence 1: Moreover, it also helps you get familiar with difficult questions and be well prepared for the up-coming exam.

Get familiar with
Question: I would like to ask why we can put “get”-a verb before the “familiar with” adjective? Is it a collocation? How we use it?

Question 2: Why we can put “be” after well prepared? The sentence should be it also helps you be well prepared”, which seems grammatically incorrect. Or is it any kinds of Grammar usage? How it come to help be?

Question 3: In addition, if I want to say這個錯誤不會令對方的利益受到損害, 因為這個錯誤不會影響到我們索償的數額…

I don’t want to use because, since, as and prefer to translate it into one sentence.
Can I say: Not affecting our total sum of claims, the mistakes would not cause prejudice to the party.

Is that correct? Can you give me other alternatives?　Thanks for your help!

✔ 最佳答案

1. to get familiar with xxx = to become familiar with xxx（不定詞片語）
此處的get屬不及物的「連繫動詞」，後面跟的familiar是「形容詞」當「主詞補語」，xxx是介系詞with的受詞

2.主要動詞help後面跟的「不定詞」可以省略不定詞符號to，也可以保留：
It also helps you (to) get familiar ... and (to) be well prepared ...
這句有兩個bare infinitives當「受詞補語」

3. Not affecting the total sum of our claims, the mistakes would not result in any increase to the other party's loss.要寫成這樣才合理：兩件事有因果關係。你向對方索賠時，對方的利益已受到損害，你就算現在犯了錯，除非你取消索賠金額，對方的損害應該沒有消失吧？「分詞構句」用來修飾主句的述部時，所強調的是兩者發生的時間點相同，但這句裡用了助動詞would，才表示兩者可能有因果關係：這因果關係是說話者的判斷。
