Why is the usage of dedicate in the original article correct? Shouldn't it be dedicated? According to the dictionary, as a transitive verb, dedicate should be used first with the object, not the preposition to. I don't quite understand this place.The original is grammatically correct. Whoever tried to paraphrase it in order to put it in the exam made a mistake and put "spend" instead of "spent". They also completely changed the meaning of the sentence.
