安娜的隨想隨寫部落

example: Collecting stamps is my hobby. (集郵是我的嗜好)

當「受詞」用時
使用動名詞當受詞的動詞：
enjoy, finish, keep, practice, quit, spend, give up等→也就是這些字後面若要加動詞，一定要使用動名詞
example: I enjoy going hiking every summer.  (我喜愛每年暑假去健行)
                  She finished doing her homework. (她作業寫完了)
                  You spend too much time playing computer games.  (你花太多時間玩電腦遊戲了)

另外，可以同時用不定詞和動名詞當作受詞的動詞有love, like, hate，兩者意思相同
example: I love to play tennis.
               =I love playing tennis. (我喜愛打網球)

注意！動名詞的否定用法為not + Ving
example: I practice not feeling nervous when I make a speech. (我練習在演講時不要緊張)
這裡常常會誤用為I practice don't feel nervous when I make a speech. 這種語法是錯誤的喔！

後面要加動名詞的介系詞片語worry about/ feel like/ think of 等
注意！其實只要是看到介系詞後面要加動詞時大部分都得加動名詞
example: I don't feel like dancing. (我不想跳舞)
                 He is worrying about not knowing how to do the work. (他正煩惱著不知道如何做這事)

問意見的句型 「What/ How about + Ving? 」
example: What about going dinner with us? (跟我們去吃晚餐如何?)
                  How about taking the MRT?  (搭捷運如何?)
