⑥ 有些动词后即可加动名词也可加不定式,区别不大
★在begin,start,continue后接动名词和不定式都可以,一般情况下意义相同。
如:去年他们开始打篮球。
但如果碰到以下情况,begin和start后须用动词不定式:
(a)主语是物:
The milk began to boil. 牛奶开始煮沸了。
(b)后接心理活动或状态的动词:
They began to know the danger ahead of them. 他们开始意识到他们有危险。
(c)begin和start用于进行时态:

(d)后接被动式:

★ 在need,want,require后接动名词和动词不定式的被动式,意义相同,都表示被动,表示需要被……的意思。如:

这小孩需要照顾。
这台洗衣机需要检查。
★ 在hate,like,love,prefer后可接动名词,也可接不定式,但意义不同,接动名词表示经常发生的动作,而接动词不定式则表示某一具体的动作。如:
★在remember,forget,regret后接动名词表示已做过的事,而接动词不定式表示动作还未发生。如:
★ mean,try,go on,stop后接动名词和动词不定式,意义完全不同:
Mean doing意味着……
例如:His breaking the arm meant his doing things carelessly.
他摔坏了手臂意味着他做事粗心。
mean to do打算做……
例如:I meant to say I was sorry. 我想说声对不起。
try doing试试看(用某种方法)

try to do设法、试图
例如:I'm trying to open the door,but I don't think I can.
我正设法打开门,但我想我是徒劳的。
go on doing继续干某事
例如:He was reading when he beard the door bell. He opened the door and went on reading. 他在看书时听到门铃响。他开了门又继续看书。
go on to do接着又去干另外一件事。
例如:
When he finished doing his homework,he went on to practise playing the piano. 他做完作业后,接着又练习弹钢琴了。
stop doing sth. 停止做某事。
例如:
Would you please stop talking?Let's listen to the story.

例如:I'm tired. I want to stop to have a rest. 我很累。我想停下来休息一会。
3. 作表语
动名词作表语时句子主语常是表示无生命的事物的名词或what引导的名词性从句。表语动名词与主语通常是对等的关系,表示主语的内容,主语、表语可互换位置。
Your task is cleaning the windows. 你的任务就是擦窗户。
(Cleaning the windows is your task.)
What I hate most is being laughed at. 我最痛恨的就是被别人嘲笑。
(Being laughed at is what I hate most.)
Teaching is my job.= My job is teaching. 我的工作是教书。
★ 动名词作表语的时候,特别要注意:不要与正在进行时混淆。动名词作表语,表达的是“某件事”等。例如:
his part-time job is promoting new products for the company. (动名词)
