动词ing作主语的用法
有两种结构:
1.动名词短语 + 系动词 + 表语,如:Seeing is believing. 眼见为实
2.形式主语+ 系动词 + 表语 + 动名词短语,如:It is helpful keeping exercises every day. 每天坚持锻炼是有好处的。
一般来说动名词或动名词短语作主语,放在句首。
e.g. Learning a foreign language is very useful to everyone.
Reading in bed is bad for your eyes.
做宾语的结构:
动名词及其短语放在行为动词介词后,作宾语。
e.g. Have you finish doing your homework ? (动词宾语)
He is not good at making friends. (介词宾语)
注意事项:
1. 动名词作主语表单数概念,谓语动词用单数形式。
e.g: Walking after supper is good for your health.
2. 动名词作动词宾语,往往是一些固定搭配,常跟动名词作宾语的动词有:finish, enjoy, mind, practise, deny, consider, suggest, admit, put off, insist on等。
3.动名词的复合结构作主语和宾语
什么是动名词的复合结构?指物主代词、名词所有格是动名词逻辑上的主语、动名词是其逻辑上的谓语。
