動名詞即具有動作特征的名詞。今天我們一起來學習與之相關的一些知識。 一)動名詞的種類:
1) 是名詞,例:Seeing is believing.
2) 具有動詞性特征可以帶賓語,例:Starving troops is necessary.
二)動名詞的形式:
一般形式:I don’t like you smoking.
完成形式:I regret not having taken your advice.
被動形式:This question is far from being settled.
三)動名詞常考的點:
1) 動名詞做主語時,謂語動詞為單數
2) 在動名詞和不定式中,作為介詞的賓語是動名詞
3) 動名詞的否定直接在其前加否定詞,通過代詞的賓格或所有格形式給出邏輯主語
例:
I would appreciate_______ back this afternoon.
A.you to call B.you call C.you calling D.you’re calling(Key:C;換成your calling也對)
4) 有些詞后只能接動名詞
admit; appreciate; avoid; celebrate; consider; contemplate; defer; delay; deny; detest; discontinue; dislike; dispute; enjoy; it entails; escape; excuse; explain; fancy; feel like; finish; forgive; can’t help; hinder; imagine; it involves; keep; it means; mention; mind; miss; it necessitates; pardon; postpone; practice; prevent; recall; report; resent; resist; risk; suggest; understand...
5) 另外還有一些接-ing形式的常用說法
it’s no good; it’s no/little/hardly any/ use; it’s not/hardly/scarcely use; it’s worthwhile; spend money/time; there’s no; there’s no point in; there’s nothing worse than; what’s the use/point...
6) 有些詞后面加不定式和動名詞均可
remember, forget, try, stop, go on, cease, mean后面均可用不定式和-ing形式,但意義截然不容。
例:
remember to do/doing:
①I remembered to post the letters.(指未來/過去未來將要做的動作)
②I remembered posting/having posted the letters.(我記得做過這個動作)
forget與remember的用法類似。
regret的用法:
①I regret to inform you that…(我很遺憾地通知你……)
②I regretted having left the firm after twenty years.(為了“二十年前的離開”而遺憾。)
try to(努力)與try +–ing(試驗):
①You really must try to overcome your shyness.
②Try practicing five hours a day.
