1.We can advertise on the internel.我们可以在网上登广告。
句中advertise是不及物动词,意思是“登广告、做广告”,常和介词for连用。例如:

advertise也作及物动词,意为“为……登广告、为……做广告”。例如:

6.The host came on stage with a microphone in her hand.主持人来到舞台上,手里拿着一个话筒。
with a microphone in her hand是由“with+宾语+宾语补足语”构成的一种结构,充当with这个介词的宾语的,通常是名词和代词;构成宾语补足语的可以是介词短语、副词、过去分词等。例如:
