abide verb (base form) 遵守（搭配 by）；忍受・abides verb (third-person singular present) 遵守；忍受（第三人稱單數現在式）・abided verb (past tense / past participle) 遵守；忍受（過去式／過去分詞）・abiding verb (present participle) 遵守；忍受（現在分詞）
四選一
All workshop participants must ____ by the room-booking rules.
看答案
abide
完整句中的 must 後接原形動詞，因此選 abide；abide by 表示遵守。abides 是第三人稱單數現在式，abiding 是現在分詞，abided 是過去式或過去分詞，均不能直接接在此處的 must 後。
同義改寫
The team agreed to abide by the committee's decision on the exhibition layout. → The team agreed to comply with the committee's decision on the exhibition layout.
在遵從決定的情境中，abide by 與 comply with 都表示依照該決定行事。
Our team leader cannot abide repeated interruptions during meetings. → Our team leader cannot tolerate repeated interruptions during meetings.
cannot abide 與 cannot tolerate 在此都表示無法忍受反覆被打斷，保留了原句的強烈反感。
