动词-ing形式作主语和宾语的用法

一、

动词-ing形式作主语

作主语的动词-ing形式具有名词的特征，有时又称为动名词。动词-ing形式作主语时，谓语动词用单数；当作主语的-ing短语太长时，常用it作形式主语，而把-ing短语置于句子后部。例如：

Seeing is believing. 眼见为实。

Learning new words is very useful to me. 学习生词对我很有用。

It’s a waste of money buying such things you don’t really need. 买这种你实际上并不需要的东西是浪费金钱。

注意：在下列句式中常用动词-ing短语作主语。

It is no use/no good/useless/senseless/fun/nice/a waste of time + doing. 如：

It’s no use talking like this. 像这样谈话没有用处。

It’s senseless behaving like that. 那样的行为没有意义。

二、动词-ing形式作宾语

动词-ing形式作宾语时常跟在一些特殊的动词或动词短语的后面，如：admit, appreciate, avoid, consider, delay, dislike, enjoy, escape, excuse, finish, forgive, imagine, keep, mention, mind, miss, practise, resist, suggest, can’t help, feel like, give up, put off, be worth等。记忆口诀如下：

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 否认完成就欣赏

deny, finish, enjoy/appreciate 禁止想象才冒险

forbid ,imagine ,risk 不禁介意准逃亡

can't help, mind, allow/permit, escape 如：

She suggested going to the Great Wall for the spring outing. 她建议去长城春游。

Would you mind opening the window? 打开窗户好吗？

Seeing the picture, he couldn’t help laughing. 看了这幅画，他禁不住笑了起来。

有时也可以用it作形式宾语代替作宾语的动词-ing形式。如：

Do you consider it any good trying again? 你觉得再试一次有什么好处吗？

注意：1. allow, advise, forbid, permit等词后面可以直接跟动词-ing形式作宾语，也可以接sb. to do结构。如：

They don’t allow smoking/us to smoke in the meeting room. 他们不允许在会议室吸烟。

2. forget, remember, stop, regret, try, mean, go on等后接动词-ing形式和不定式的含义有所不同。如：

I regretted making the speech at the meeting. 我后悔在会议上作了发言。

I regret to tell you that you are fired. 我很遗憾地告诉你，你被解雇了。

3. need, require, want作“需要”讲时，后面可以接动词-ing的主动式或不定式的被动式，其含义相同。如：

My bike needs repairing/to be repaired. 我的自行车需要修理。

4.

Practice the sentence pattern Ask Ss to rewrite the following sentences using the -ing form as the subject.

1.

It’s nice to help people in need.

2.

It’s not easy to grow hybrid rice.

3.

It’s not difficult to learn more about farming.

4.

In the countryside it is not easy to do research as in the city. 5.

To get rid of hunger is very important for some African countries. Step 3. Consolidation

T will give Ss 10 minutes to communicate with their partners to finish the third task on page 12 and the fourth task on page 13. Then the T check and explain the answers. Step 4. Summary

I will ask Ss to summarize what they have learned and do some supplements. Then lead Ss to aware how hard farmers worked to grow food. At last, ask Ss to cherish food. Step 5. Homework

Teaching result prediction

I predict that 80 percent of the Ss can achieve teaching aims, but 20 percent of them may fail to fully understand the teaching aims. So I will give the 20 percent of the Ss some after school tutoring.
