Chapter 21 Grammar Focus 動詞接不定詞或動名詞

留言內容

P251

不定詞與動名詞都可以當動詞的受詞。使用情形大致如下：

（一） 多數的動詞只接不定詞，例如：

They decided to go.

（二） 有些動詞只能以動名詞為受詞，例如：

I enjoyed watching TV.

本類的動詞常用的約有二三十個，

例如：finish, keep, mind, avoid, practice, imagine, admit等，應記下來。

（三） 另有些動詞，可以不定詞或動名詞做受詞，但會造成不同解釋，例如：

stop talking 是停止談話

stop to talk 是停止其他事情以便談話

至於哪些動詞以及在什麼情況下要接不定詞或動名詞，除了從大量閱讀中去觀察外，還可參考文法書或字典。

補充：另外有少數字詞之後習慣接動名詞。例如Chapter19 有句對話：

I’ve been busy packing for the trip back home and saying goodbye to people.

packing及saying 用動名詞跟前面busy這個字用法有關。

這類字詞將於Chapter32 Grammar Focus 的練習中介紹。
