请穿上你的新大衣。
2．wear强调“穿着”这一状态，也可表示“戴着”。如：He’s wearing a white shirt.他穿着一件白衬衫。

比较：误：I’ll come if you are convenient.正：I’ll come if it is convenient for [to] you. 你若方便，我就来。
③. 其后可接不定式，但句子应带有形式主语或形式宾语 it。如：I think it (is) convenient to leave at once. 我认为马上离开较适合。Will it be convenient for you to start work tomorrow? 明天就开始工作你觉得方便吗?
有时也可能没有形式主语，而用“人”或“物”作主语，但此时句子的主语必须是其后不定式的逻辑宾语。如：Mary is convenient to see on Sunday. = It’s convenient to see Mary on Sunday.
星期天见玛丽较为方便。
