Step 5 Co-construction 1. 单个v-ing 形式作主语放在句首，谓语用单数。

2. v-ing 形式作主语放在句末，只用于特定的

句型结构中如

There is no point/use/good (in) doing sth做某事没有必要、意义，做某事没用

It +be +a waste of time doing 做……是浪费时间的

It is/was no good/use doing

做……是没用处的

It is/was hardly/scarcely worth doing 做……不值得

It is/was worth/worthwhile doing

做……是值得的

There is no doing 无法……; 不允许……

2. Being a guest in an American home will be a good experience for me. 3. Doing nothing is doing ill．

4. He said, “To go on like this is no use.”

5. It’s an honor for me to be invited to the party．

Summary: 动名词与不定式做主语时的比较：

动名词表示的动作通常是一个泛指的动作,

不定式则通常表示具体的动作。

3. Peter, who had been driving all day, suggested stopping at the next town. 4. She doesn't mind being laughed at. 5. She was so angry that she felt like throwing something at him. 6. Friendship is not a matter of chatting, walking or drinking. It is a communication of soul. 7. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. 8. I am used to sleeping with lights on. Co-construction 1.

只能后接动名词作宾语的动词, 常见的有avoid, consider, enjoy, keep, finish, suggest, dislike, delay,escape,can’thelp,imagine,mind,miss,practise,cannotstand,risk,resist,tolerate,understand,involve,feel like等。

2.作介词宾语,介词+动名词;下列短语中的to都是介词, 所以后面跟名词或-ing形式: devote to, object to, pay attention to, get down to, lead to, look forward to, stick to, be used to, be devoted to等。

3. 这些动词后一般要用不定式作宾语，

如manage, expect,decide, seem,offer,promise,fail,hope,afford,encourage,plan,want等

4.既可接动名词又可接不定式作宾语的动词, 常见的有: begin, start, continue, like, love, prefer, by, mean, forget，remember, hate等。A. 在like, love, hate, prefer等动词之后，用-ing或不定式意义上没有什么不同, 只是侧重点有些不同, 动名词表示泛指的动作, 不定式表示具体的一次性动作。B. 在begin/start, continue之后, 用动名词和不定式, 意义无甚区别, 尤其是当主语是人的时候。

C. 在动词forget, remember, regret之后, 用动名词与不定式意义不同。动名词表示动作先于谓语发生,不定式表示后于谓语动作. forget

…is his/her job every day.

He/She enjoys …

He/She is interested in …

He/She dreams of …

He/She hates …

…makes him/her happy/sad.

He/She cares about …

Here is a sample for you. Li Hua is a smart boy. Playing model cars is his favourite. And he also likes running. It seemsplaying is his job every day. Besides, he enjoys talking so much that it seems that he never stops talking until he goes to sleep. Maybe that is why he is good at telling stories.

Choose the following one as your topic: 1. what you love/like/hate doing and why

or what your friend loves/likes/hates doing and why. 2. what you are interested in doing someday in the future. 3. what city or country you would enjoy visiting and why. Step 7 Self-assessments.

. Step 8 Homework 1. Summarize the rules of v-ing form as the Subject and Object in your own way. 2. Finish the exercises of “Discovering useful structures” on Page 13.
