Grammar

一. 动名词做主语的用法

1. 动名词做主语往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作, 在口语中也可以表示具体的动作。

如：

Seeing is believing.

Helping her is my duty.

Talking mends no holes.

Working with you is a pleasure.

2. 动词-ing形式作主语时常后置, 用it作形式主语，用形容词或名词作表语。常见的作表语的名词或短语有：no use, no good, fun, hard work, a hard / difficult job, a wonder, a waste of time等。

如：Is it worthwhile quarrelling with her?

It’s no good waiting here. Let’s go home.

It was a waste of time reading that book.

3. “There is + no”后可以用动词-ing形式作主语，表示“没法……”。

如：There was no telling when this might happen again.

There was no knowing what he could do.

二.

动名词作宾语的用法

1. 有些动词如admit, avoid, consider, escape, deny, risk, suggest等后能接动词-ing形式作宾语，而不能接动词不定式。

如：We’re considering paying a visit to the Science Museum.

2. 有些短语如can’t help, be used to, end up, feel like, lead to, be busy, be tired of, be fond of, be afraid of, be proud of, think of / about, put off, keep on, insist on, be good at, give up等后常接名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语。

如：I have been used to living here.

注意:

1. 当

need, want, require, worth后面接doing也可以表示被动。

Your hair wants cutting.

你的头发该理了。

The floor requires washing.

I’m fond of collecting stamps and coins.

地板需要冲洗。

2. 在allow, advise, forbid, permit后直接跟动名词作宾语，如果有名词或代词作宾语，则构成“allow／advise／forbid／permit ＋名词／代词＋不定式（宾语补足语）”之形式。如：

We don't allow smoking here．

We don't allow anybody to smoke here．

3. 在begin, continue, love, like, hate, prefer, intend, start后用动名词和

用不定式作宾语均可，意义没有多大区别。

4. 动词forget, go on, mean, regret, remember, stop, try, be used to, can't help后跟动名词和跟不定式区别较大，须注意。

forget, regret, remember后跟动名词，动名词表示已经发生的动作；后跟不定式表示将要发生的动作。
