Step 3 Grammar learning 1. 动词的-ing形式做主语和宾语的用法

1). 动词的-ing形式做主语和宾语, 既是动名词. Collecting stamps is a good hobby. He enjoys fishing. 2). 动名词依然保持其动词的性质, 所以后面可以接宾语或副词性修饰语, 构成动名词短语. Reading books widens our knowledge.

1

I do not like swimming in a pool. 3). 动名词既可以作动词宾语, 又可以作介词宾语. I remember seeing her. Do not be afraid of speaking English. 4). 动名词做主语时, 谓语动词用单数. Chatting with them improves our mind.

2. 下列动词后用动名词做宾语: admit, advise, allow, appreciate, avoid, complete, consider, delay, deny(否认), enjoy, escape, finish, imagine, keep, mind, miss, permit, postpone(延期), practice, quit(停止), suggest, stop, put off(推迟), give up, feel like, keep on, insist on, can`t help

3.下列动词后接动名词和不定式, 意义基本相同: like, love, hate, dislike, begin, start, cease(停止), continue, intend, prefer(更喜欢)等.

4. 下列动词接不定式或动名词, 意义有区别. 1). forget / remember / regret + -ing : 已经做了

forget / remember / regret + to do sth. 还没有做

2). mean to do sth. 打算做….

mean doing sth. 意味着…. 3). try doing sth. 尝试做某事

try to do sth. 设法做某事
