英语学习--chap5 动名词

一：动名词的特性和普通名词的区别

1.动名词带有动作性和持续性。

2.动名词部分是可数的，可以加所有格，冠词。

二：动名词短语和名词从句的比较

1.主句和从句主语一致，直接采取省略的基本原则：

I really enjoyed teaching English to school student at night.

I really enjoyed that I taught English to school stduent at night. -----> I really enjoyed ( that I was ) teaching English to school student at night.

2.若主句和从句主语不一致，则采取下面的方法：

I don't like that ( john calls my girlfriend day after day ). 括号内是名词性的从句

因为call是一个持续的过程改为calling更贴切一些

I don't like ( that ) john's calling my girlfriend day after day. 括号内的that可以省略

3.动名词的被动态

That I was invited here is a great honor.

如果直接省略I was 和 tha t的话看起来有点别扭，而且形容词不能做主语，必须想办法将 invited 变成名词才行，invitation 或者 inviting都是很好的方案

Being invited here is a great honor.

三：动名词和现在分词的区分

其实这个判断相对简单多了，最基本的方法就是通过简单句型判断，如果ving放在补语的位置是通顺的，则ving是现在分词，否则就是名词（也许是复合名词）。
