英语四级中的动名词知识点一览

在英语中，动名词是具有动作性特征的名词。由于其用法的特殊性及灵活性，经常在英语四级中出现。今天，北外网课（北京外国语大学网络课堂）老师就汇总了考试中涉及到的动名词知识点，帮助大家记忆。

动名词的一般形式：Idon't like you smoking.        

完成形式：I regretnot having taken your advice.

被动形式：Thisquestion is far from being settled.

动名词做主语谓语动词为单数，在动名词和不定式中,做为介词的宾语是动名词，动名词的否定直接在其前加否定词,通过代词的宾格或所有格形式给出逻辑主语.

有些词后只能接动名词  

admit，appreciate，avoid，celebrate，consider，contemplate，defer，delay，deny，detest， discontinue，dislike，dispute，enjoy，it entails，escape，excuse，explain，fancy，feel like， finish，forgive，can't help，hinder，imagine，it involves，keep，it means，mention，mind， miss，it necessitates，pardon，postpone，practice，prevent，recall，report，resent，resist， risk，suggest，understand.

另还有一些接-ing形式的常用说法：it'sno good，it's  no/little/hardly any/use，it's not/hardly/scarcely use，it's worthwhile，spendmoney/time，there's no，there's no point in，there's nothing worse than，what's theuse/point.

有些词后加不定式和动名词均可

remember, forget, try, stop, go on, cease, mean后面用不定式和-ing形式，意义截然不容。

I remembered to post the letters. (指未来/过去未来的动作)  I remembered posting/having posting theletters (我记得这个动作)

forgot与remember的用法类似。  

I regret to inform you that…我很遗憾地通知你…  I regretted having left the firm after twentyyears. 为了"二十年前的离开"而遗憾。

try to 努力 You really must try to overcome your shyness.

try –ing 试验 Trypracticing five hours a day.   I mean togo, but my father would not allow me to. [打算、想]我想去，但我父亲不让我去。To raise wage means increasing purchasing power. [意味着]赠加工资意味着增加购买力。

prefer的用法：  I prefer to wait here. （所以啊，你不介意的话，我就等下去。） I prefer waiting here.（我正在这里等，我就喜欢这么做。）Iprefer swimming to cycling. （这个句子里面就不能用不定式了。）
