advertise...of

Question

He advertised them of his decision to withdraw from the election.

請問 thme 的後面為什麼是 of 是 advertise的關係嗎？
如果不是，是否可以依此造句？
I tell them of my plan to travel.
I notify them of my decision to leave here.
這樣造句可以嗎？

Answer 1

He advertised them of his decision to withdraw from the election.
因為advertise 在此解釋為 "通知" 句型為:
to advertise someone of something
them 為間接受詞
his decision 為直接受詞

就好像: I gave this book to him. 或 I gave him this book.
book 為直接受詞
him 為間接受詞
I tell them of my plan to travel. 這句不需要 of
I tell them my plan to travel.
I notify them of my decision to leave here. 這句是對的。
