Infinitive and Gerund 大全

你係咪係對幾時用Infinitive and Gerund感到困擾？

go 後面用 to infinitive 定 gerund？

stop 後面用 to infinitive 定 gerund？

有見及此，小編為大家整理了這篇Infinitive and Gerund 攻略，並附上大量例子！

Infinitive and Gerund

Gerund 中文是動名詞

Infinitive 中文是不定式

我們常在動詞後使用動名詞和不定式。

Gerund是用作名詞的動詞的-ing 形式。

to infinitive 是 to + 動詞的基本形式。

Gerund Infinitive 例子

有些動詞後面只能跟Gerund，不能跟to-infinitive。

例如：

I suggest making the picture bigger.

Shall we consider using a different colour too?

相反，有些動詞後面只能跟to-infinitive，不能跟Gerund。

例如：

We need to change the design. Yes, but we promised to finish this today.

有些動詞後面可以跟to-infinitive，又可以跟Gerund。

例如：

I like working / to work with other people, but I prefer being / to be in a team.

Gerund 文法

我們使用動名詞 Gerund像名詞一樣。

Gerund 用法

用作主語

例如：

Smoking is bad for you.

Buying books costs a lot of money.

用作賓語

例如：

We do not allow bullying.

verb to be 後面使用

My favourite hobby is playing basketball.

Dan’s only interests are watching TV and playing chess.

Preposition 後面使用

How about going for a swim?

名詞片語中使用

a travelling company

a shopping mall

變相有點像adj.

To infinitive 文法

與不同的時態不同，to-infinitive不給我們任何關於行動或事件時間的信息。

相反，我們使用它們以更general的方式談論動作和事件。

To infinitive 用法

為什麼某人做某事

例如：

I’m going to buy some stamps.

Jane is coming to help with the cleaning.

某事/物用作......

例如：

Tom needs glasses to read.

The purpose of a fire door is to stop a fire spreading.

wh-word (除了why)之後使用

例如：

I don’t know who to ask for help.

We can’t decide which teachers to ask to the party.
