Browsing the example of 決める, I found at least there are 3 patterns as follows:
行くと決めた。I decided to go.
行くまいと決めた。I decided not to go.
車を買うことに決めた。I decided to buy a car.
会議の日を決めた。I decided the meeting date.
Are my conclusions below correct?
- ~に決める can only follow こと.
- ~と決める can only follow verb in dictionary form.
- ~を決める can follow any noun.
Which is the correct interpretation of「私たちは、会議の日を三月四日に決めた。」?
We decided the meeting date to be March 4.
We decided the meeting date in March 4. (But when the meeting date is unspecified)
