易错句子The whole plan hinges whether the funding comes through.
正确表达The whole plan hinges on whether the funding comes through.
hinge 表示“取决于、依赖于”时是不及物动词,必须与介词 on(或 upon)搭配,构成 hinge on sth 这一固定结构。汉语“取决于某事”是动宾结构,后面直接跟宾语,因此学习者容易把介词漏掉;补上 on 后,whether 引导的从句才成为介词的宾语,句子才合语法。

易错句子Whether we hold the picnic hinge on the weather.
正确表达Whether we hold the picnic hinges on the weather.
当主语是 whether 或 what 等引导的主语从句时,整个从句被视为单数第三人称,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式 hinges。汉语谓语没有主谓一致的变化,所以学习者常忘记加 -s;改为 hinges on 才能与主语从句保持一致。

正确表达His success hinges on how hard he works.
“取决于”这一含义只能用介词 on/upon,不能用 to。汉语“取决于”是一个整体动词,不显示该选哪个介词,学习者往往按“对……依赖”的思路误用 to。把 to 换成 on,才符合 hinge on sth 的固定搭配。
