動名詞的作用

動名詞的作用

1.  動名詞當主詞

這時和不定詞的功能大致相同,意即用動名詞形式,以這個動作為主詞。

【例句】

Playing basketball is one of my favorite activities.

=To play basketball is one of my favorite activities.

(打籃球是我最喜歡的活動之一。)

 

動名詞當主詞,動詞用單數型。

句型簡單、沒有其他補充可能導致句意混淆的情況時,可用所有格修飾動名詞。

例如:

I was astonished by his being emotional.(我對他的情緒化感到驚訝。)

2.  動名詞當受詞

在前文,已經討論過不定詞和動名詞在當直接受詞時的不同。除此之外,只有動名詞,可以做為介係詞的受詞。

S.+Vi.+介係詞+V-ing

 

【例句】

Janet wrote me a mail about having a party together next week.

(Janet寫給我一封關於下星期一起辦派對的信。)

Thank you for helping me so much.(○)

Thank you for to help me so much.(×)

3.  下列片語之後常接動名詞

give up(放棄)

keep (on)∕go on(繼續)

get through(完成)

object to∕be opposed to(反對)

look forward to(期盼)

when it comes to(談到…)

owing∕due to(由於)

put off(拖延)

on∕upon+V-ing (一…就…)

take to∕take a fancy to (喜歡)

come∕go near (to) (幾乎要…)

feel like(想要)

備註

feel like+N.(摸起來像…)

devote oneself to∕be-V devoted to(貢獻)

apply oneself to∕be applied to(致力)

addict oneself to∕be addicted to(沈迷於)

in addition to(除了…之外還…)

in regard∕reference∕relation∕respect to (關於)

be-V busy (in) V-ing∕be busy with N (忙於…)
