i am thingking of his marrying one of their daughters
我想問下點解會係marrying既?!
仲有..我想問下Preposition後面有一個字隔住左..跟住第二個字係verb,咁仲洗唔洗轉做Gerund?
姐係好似i am thingking of his marrying one of their daughters 咁.
仲有..點解係用his唔係用he既?
thx:)

✔ 最佳答案

marrying 在句中係個動名詞 (gerund)。

I am thinking of 後需要一個名詞，某些事情 (something)，那些事情未必可以用一個名詞表逹，而是要用行動、事件來表逹，這便要用到動名詞將整件事表逹出來。

I am thinking of marrying one of their daughters.
意思是我在想和他們其中一個女兒結婚。這當然不是原句意思。

原句意思係我在想他和他們其中一個女兒結婚的事。所以句中要在 marrying 前加 his。因為 marrying 是個名詞，所以係 his marrying 而不是 he marrying。

其他動名詞例句：
He apologized to his teacher for his being late to school.
She is preparing for her studying abroad.
