Key points

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. 空谈无济于事。

Working with you is a pleasure.

和你一起工作是一种乐趣。

②

动名词做主语和不定式做主语一样，也可以用it作形式主语。如：

To learn English well isn’t very easy .

It isn’t very easy to learn English well.

Helping her is my duty.

It is my duty helping her.

Working with you is a pleasure.

③

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

There was no telling when this might happen again. 没法预料这样的事什么时候会再发生。There was no knowing what he could do. 他能做什么很难说。

1) 这种事开不得玩笑。

Here is ________ about such matter.

2) 无法知道他什么时候离开。

There was __________ when he would leave.

There is no sense in doing

做……没有道理

There is/was no use doing

干……无意义

There is/was nothing worse than doing

没有比……更糟的

There is/was no point doing

干……无意义

二、动词-ing形式作宾语

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：

The thief escape being caught.

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.

I’m fond of collecting stamps and coins.

3. need, require, want作“需要”解时, 后接动词-ing形式作宾语, 主动形式表示被动意义, 相当于to be done。如：

The radio needs / requires / wants repairing / to be repaired.

常跟动词ing作宾语的动词歌诀:

考虑建议盼原谅，

consider, suggest / advise, look forward to, excuse, pardon

承认推迟没得想，

admit, delay / put off, fancy

避免错过继续练，

avoid, miss, keep /keep on, practise

否认完成停能赏，

deny, finish, stop, enjoy / appreciate

不禁介意准逃亡，

can’t help, mind, allow/ permit, escape

不准冒险凭想象。

forbid, risk, imagine
