【Key structure】 动名词的用法
有些动词后可以用动名词作宾语,但不能用不定式。这些动词包括avoid,admit,deny,fancy,finish,enjoy,mind(在乎,在意),suggest,stand(容忍)等。有些结构通常要接动名词,如busy,worth,it is
no/little use,bored with,interested
in,insist on,prevent…from等:I was looking forward to reading those books.动名词可以有自己的逻辑主语(即动作执行者,而不是句子的主语): Do you mind my smoking?
come和go之后可以跟与户外活动相关的动名词(climbing,driving,fishing,riding,shopping,walking等),表示建议、邀请或叙事。
There’s no point in my coming climbing withyou.
(there’s no point in =it is no use)
感知动词(hear,see,fell,watch等)后面既可以跟宾语加分词结构,也可以跟宾语加不带to的不定式。现在分词往往强调动作正在发生,用于叙述中时使人身临其境;不定式则可以表示动作发生了或过程结束了。有时它们之间的区别不大,可以互相替换使用。
【语法精粹】
动名词复合结构:由名词所有格或物主代词与动名词构成.动名词复合结构多作主语或宾语, 作主语时必须是所有格(名词所有格, 形容词性物主代词), 但作宾语时可以用所有格, 也可用普通格(人称代词宾格)
His leaving is agreat loss.
Mother dislikesmy(me) working late.
后面可以接动词-ing的词:介词;某些动词,如avoid, enjoy, finish, It is no use, prevent sb from, fancy, imagine,
escape, risk, allow,deny, appreciate, complete, delay,mind, practice, resent, risk, suggest, permit…insist on doing, persist indoing, persevere in doing, give up doing
某些词加逻辑主语要用不定式作宾语,如: allow+doing sth.(动名词作宾语) allow sb. to do
sth.(不定式作宾语)advise sb. to do sth. advise doing sth.常见如:advise,allow,permit,recommend, etc.

被动语态
被动语态可以用于“介词+动名词”结构中,在英语中是很正式的用法,一般不用于口语。“介词(after,before,on)+动名词”这个结构通常相当于一个时间状语从句。如果两个动作中有一个在另一个开始之前已经完成,则可以用“after +动名词的完成式”表示第一个动作;如果只表示先后顺序,则可用“after/before +动名词”结构;“on +动名词”通常表示两个动作几乎同时发生:
The man called the police after being robbed.
被动语态用于want后面的不定式中时,to be可以省略,want后跟被动语态时往往表示希望别人完成所说的动作:I want the luggage fetched from the hotel this afternoon.
被动语态还可用于过去进行时,以强调动作的持续性I was being asked about the film all day yesterday.

【Key structures】
简单句、并列句和复合句
简单句是英语中最小的句子单位,一般有一个限定动词,它有一个主语和一个谓语,但可以用连词and将两个或两个以上的动词合并为一个简单句。根据动词后所使用的不同成分,简单句可有5种基本句型:①主语 +动词
②主语 +动词 +主语补足语:
③主语 +动词 +直接宾语:
④主语 +动词 +间接宾语+直接宾语
⑤主语 +动词 +宾语 +宾语补足语
将几个简单句连接起来构成并列句。在并列句中不存在单独的主句和从属于它的从句;各小句根据上下文的要求按逻辑次序排列,但各小句都同等重要并独立存在。我们常常把并列句中的各小句看成是并列主句。可采用下列任何一种方式构成并列句:
①用分号We fishedall day; we didn’t catch a thing.
②用分号,后面跟一个连接副词(短语),如however、above all、in addition、as far as等
We fished all day; however, we didn’t catch athing.
③用并列连词,如and、but、so、yet等,前面常加逗号:
We fished all day, but (we) didn’t catch athing.
复合句的构成方法可以是把简单句连接在一起,但复合句的各个组成部分并非同等重要(此点与并列句不同),其中总有一个独立小句(或称“主句”)和一个或一个以上的从属小句(或称“从句”);主句往往可以独立存在。复合句的构成方法:
①用连词将从句与主句连接起来:If you’re not good at figures, it is pointless to apply for job in a
bank.如果你不擅于计算,向银行求职就毫无意义。
②用动词不定式或分词结构。它们是非限定性动词,是短语而不是从句,但它们构成复合句(而非简单句)的一部分。 之所以如此是因为它们可以用从句的形式表现出来。To get into a university you have to pass a number of examinations.
从句分为:名词性从句;关系/形容词从句;副词从句Holiday resorts which are very crowded are not very pleasant.那些拥挤的度假场所令人感到不愉快Howerver hard I try, I can’t remember people’s names.

“Why +don’t/doesn’t

②吃掉,喝完,用光

用于公共标语的no

Left Turn(禁止左转弯)。在真正的公告牌上,这些标语往往全部用大写字母,不加标点,如NO SMOKING等。

2、The mummy isthat of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.
that指代上文当中出现的名词the
mummy。在指代特指事物时,尤其是在比较状语从句中,常用that和those指代提到的事物:
The cost of livinghere is lower than that in London.
that of和those of一般用于较正式的文体中:
It's colder than
Guangzhou. × (北京、广州是地点,只有大小之分,本身没有冷和热)
The weather ofBeijing is colder than Guangzhou. ×
The weather of
Beijing is colder than the weather of Guangzhou. = The weather of Beijing is
