inform后面不跟双宾语， He has informed me his new address.这个句子是错误的，应在his前加介词of。

inform可表示“告诉”，但是用tell会比较普通；
inform表示“向某人报告”，而不是“报告”，因此后面不可直接加事件的详情。 He has informed his new address to me.He has informed me of his new address.第二个句子才是正确的。
v.(动词)inform的基本意思是“通知,告知”,用作及物动词时,接名词或代词作宾语,也可接双宾语,其直接宾语可由带疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句充当。
inform用作不及物动词时,可作“检举,告密”解,常与介词against〔on〕连用。
