动名词(高中)
非谓语动词——动名词
动名词也是动词的一种非限定形式,由动词原形加-ing 构成,与现在分词同形。动名词兼有动词和名词的特征和作用,其动词特征表现在可以带宾语、状语或表语。此外,动名词的动词特征还表现在它的语态和时态变化。动名词的名词特征主要表现在它在句中可以充当主语或宾语等,还可以受形容词、代词和名词的修饰,名词化的动名词前面也可以加冠词。 一、动名词的时态、语态、否定形式及基本用法

动名词前可以加一个名词所有格、人称代词宾格、形容词性物主代词或名词普通格,充当动名词的逻辑主语,与动名词一起构成复合结构。 (一) 动名词复合结构作主语
动名词复合结构位于句首直接作主语时,逻辑主语是有生命的名词只用所有格;逻辑主语是无生命的名词只用普通格;代词只用形容词性物主代词。
Yesterday being Sunday postponed the match.(无生命的名词用普通格) Jack ’s suddenly disappearing made them worried.(有生命的名词所有格) Their coming to help was a great encouragement to us.(形容词性物主代词)
(二) 动名词复合结构作宾语
动名词复合结构作宾语时,逻辑主语是有生命的名词用所有格或普通格;逻辑主语是无生命的名词只是普通格;代词用形容词性物主代词或代词的宾格形式。

(四) 在复合结构中,it 作逻辑主语指物时,用宾格或所属格均可;it 指时间时,只能用
宾格

动名词作表语起名词的作用,用来表示主语的内容。主语和表语在概念上必须一致。 My hobby is collecting stamps. My favourite sport is swimming.
