固定句型,表示「與……無關」。主語為第三人稱單數時用 has(He/She/It has)。後面接名詞、代名詞或動名詞/V-ing 子句(e.g., cheating, being late)。亦可用強調語氣:have nothing whatsoever to do with…(完全無關)。另有延伸用法 want nothing to do with… 表「拒絕往來、完全不想扯上關係」,語意較強,勿混淆。

常見錯誤
✗
The rule has nothing to do to our class.
✓
The rule has nothing to do with our class.
固定搭配為 have nothing to do with + 名詞/代名詞/動名詞子句;介系詞必須用 with,不能用 to。
✗
He don't have nothing to do with it.
✓
He doesn't have anything to do with it. / He has nothing to do with it.
英文避免雙重否定;可用 has nothing…(單一否定),或 doesn't have anything…(否定助動詞 + anything)。
✗
He have nothing to do with the accident.
✓
He has nothing to do with the accident.
主語為第三人稱單數時,動詞用 has 而非 have。
✗
I have nothing to do with now.
✓
I have nothing to do now. / This has nothing to do with me.
have nothing to do(無事可做)與 have nothing to do with…(與…無關)意思不同;前者不接 with,後者必接 with + 目標對象。
