英文動詞ing 問題

關於BARE INFINITIVE

1. after verbs of perception ( SEE, WATCH, HEAR, LISTEN TO, FEEL, SMELL....)
EG1: Someone saw the robbers "RUN" out of the bank
o係呢個例子入邊, 因為someone saw 係perception, 所以run 就會係BARE INFINITIVE

2.after let and make
EG2: let him COME in now
His description made the story SOUND believable

let me going ? F


let me to go ? F

let me go? T

關於gerund
The gerund is a verb ending in ing . It performs as a noun.

1.as a subject
EG3: Reading is me hobby

2.as a object of a verb
EG4:we all enjoy READINF a good book
NOTE: verbs that a gerund as object include:
admit, avoid, consider,delay,dislike,enjoy,fancy,FINISH,imagine, keep, mind, miss, postpone, prevent, risk, stand, suggest, practise, etc

3.after a preposition
EG5:she is fond of reading
EG6:we look forward to seeing you


而至於幾時用gerund 幾時用to infinitive
有時兩者係同一個意思, 即係兩個都用得
EG7:they don't allow parking here/ they don't allow us to park here

但係有時會有小小分別(係解釋上)
不過都係某幾組字
to try/trying, stop/stoping.....仲有幾個

加ing 只不過係將動詞名詞化用o係perfect 同simple ( active/ passive) 都得

simple active :she doesn't mind doing extra worksimple passive:she doesn't mind being given extre workperfect active: he admitted having disclosed the secretperfect passive: he admitted having been beaten by some of his classmates

即係無論佢之前個verbs 係咩tense都好, 後邊都係一樣咁加ing, 加左ing, 佢就唔係verb, 佢係一個動名詞, 你可以當名詞咁用

1. 在一般的文法上,總會有一些個別例子(exceptional case):
例子: let 和 make
Let me go! (讓我去吧!)
Let me see! (讓我想想看!)
Peter has already quitted of you. Let go! (彼得已經捨棄妳了,放手吧!)
Mary always makes me laugh. (瑪莉常常令我笑不停。)
這些特別例子,說明跟在 let 或 make 後面的動詞,都要用「不定詞」(infinitive) (即係動詞乜都唔加啲第一欄)。
所以, let me going 和 let me to go ,都是錯的!

2. 至於一般的「動名詞」(gerund) (即係動詞加ing果D),用法就廣泛(extensive)得多,例子:
- I love swimming.
- We enjoy travelling (旅遊).
- People like gossiping (講是講非).

3. 除了 let 和 make 之外,其他的動詞都可正常運用, feel hear listen notice see smell watch,給你一些 examples, 讓你容易明白:
- I can feel the breeze (微風) blowing.
- I hear my neighbour (鄰居) screaming (尖叫) all the time (時常).
- I listen to the radio every morning.
註: 事實上,並無必要硬將兩個動詞擠在一起的,所以 listen to 後面便用上了名詞 the radio.
- You should watch the TV at the English channel (英文台) more often (多d).

4. 問者對 finish 的疑惑:
- I promise (答應) my mother that I will finish my homework as soon as possible (盡快).
註: 我會簡明地說「完成功課」,而不是 finish to do my homework (做完功課) ,因為此乃中式英文,意思又重覆,頗為蹩腳。

5. 可是,當你準備舖排句子時,用gerund抑或用to + infinitive, 卻會帶來不同的解釋,例子:
- " Stop talking! " The teacher shouted. (老師叫道:「停止談話!」)
- She stopped to talk. (她停下來說話。)
因此,措詞時要留心喔。

6. 問者補充,使用過去式時,動詞如 love 的用法:Peter said that he would love me and took care of me forever.(彼得說過他會永遠愛我和照顧我。)

在上述的句子內,我用了 and 作連接詞(conjunction),那麼兩個動詞便可以同時在句子中出現了。事實上,你真的不必硬生生要用動名詞(gerund)去描劃意思和結構句子的,總要視乎情況(It depends!)

2007-08-25 01:18:50 補充：
修訂(revision)第6項例子:Peter said that he would love me and take care of me forever.would 是用在過去式的將會, would love me (將會愛我) would take care of me (將會照顧我),所以該用 take care。

不如給些例子 :

I like swimming.
I like going to beach for swimming.
I like to swim.

-- 問得好亂.let me to go岩:)
i have to finish my homework
verb+to+verb 係有目的,so就add to~
