动名词就是在原形动词后加上ing,使其具有名词的特性,句子中可扮演主语,宾语或补语的功能。
◎动名词当主语:须具有名词特性的字(或字群)才能当主语,所以动名词可当主语。
※比较
Do it right now. (祈使句)
To do / Doing it right now is important. (直述句)
※ 动名词或不定词放句首当主词时,整个主词视为一件事,其后须用单数动词。
例:1. Sleeping eight hours a day is good for health. (一天睡8小时有益健康。)
=To sleep eight hours a day is good for health.
=It is good for health to sleep eight hours a day.
2. Swimming at the beach is a lot of fun. (在海边游泳很好玩。)
=To swim at the beach is a lot of fun.
= It's a lot of fun to swim at the beach. 注意:这里只能用不定词 to swim ,而不能用动名词swiming.
注意:It's no use crying over spilt milk. (特殊用法,相当于中文的覆水难收。)
◎动名词当宾语:放一般动词或介系词后。
(1) 当一般动词的宾语
例:1. You have to give up smoking. (你必须戒烟。)
2. I like watching basketball games on TV. (我喜欢看电视上的篮球比赛。)
注意1:动词 like, love, hate, start, begin, learn…等之后可接V-ing或to-V当受词,在意思上没有差别。
例:They began dancing / to dance faster and faster. (他们开始跳得越来越快。)
注意2:动词stop, remember, forget, try…等之后可接V-ing或to-V当受词,但意思通常不同。
例:1. The man stopped talking. (那人停止说话。)
The man stopped to talk to a newsboy. (那人停下来和报童说话。)
* I'm tried. I have to stop working.(我累了,我必须停止工作。)
相当于 I'm tried. I have to take a rest. (我累了,我必须休息一下。)

2. These students practice speaking English every day. (这些学生每天练习英语。)

2. We are thinking about buying a washing machine. (我们考虑要买台洗衣机。)
◎动名词当补语—动名词可位于be动词之后当补语。
例:1. My work is washing cars. (我的工作是洗车。)
2. One of my hobbies is collecting stamps. (我的嗜好之一是集邮。)
注意:在其它句型中的V-ing形式
1. go+ V-ing / go+n.+ V-ing 注意:这里的名词前面不能加冠词,后面不能加s/es
