2、动名词做表语用名词作表语通常表示抽象性或习惯性的动作,一般是说明主语的内容。需要注意的是,不要与现在进行时混淆,动名词,做表语,也可以转化为动名词作主语,例如:My father's job is writing stories.也可以说成:Writing stories is my father's job.3、动名词作宾语有些动词后面必须用动名词作宾语,例如,He enjoys reading books before sleeping.Would you mind opening the door?类似这样的动词有:
有些动词既可以接动名词,又可以接不定式做宾语,如:This car needs repairing.=This car needs to be repaired.4、动名词作定语通常用单个动名词用作定语,用来说明它所修饰的词的用途,所属关系等等,放在被修饰词的前面,如:washing machine,reading material ,walking stick ,waiting room, swimming pool等等。
