动词不定式：
指由to加上动词原形（而且只能是动词原形）所构成的一种非限定性动词，但在有些情况下to可以省略。
动词不定式在语法功能上可作主语、宾语、宾语补足语、表语、定语和状语。
动词不定式可以作以上各种成分，但它毕竟是动词，所以有动词的属性。
动词不定式及其短语还可以有自己的宾语、状语，虽然动词不定式在语法上没有表面上的直接主语，但它表达的意义是动作，这一动作一定由使动者发出。
这一使动者我们称之为逻辑主语，其形式如下：

时态	主动形式	被动形式
一般式	(not) to do	(not) to be done
完成式	(not) to have done	(not) to have been done
进行式	(not) to be doing
完成进行式	(not) to have been doing

不定式的用法:
1、不定式作主语
例如：To remember this is very important.
注意：为了避免头重脚轻，在许多情况下，通常都将作主语的不定式置于句子后部，而在句首主语位置使用形式主语it。
例如：It is very important to remember this.
2、不定式作表语
例如：He seems to be ill.
注意：不定式作表语主要有三种情况，一是用于seem, appear, prove等系动词之后的不 定式（尤其是to be），
二是像My job is to sweep the floor. 这样的主语与表语“等价”的情形，
三是表示想法、约定、义务、命令、可能性、命运等，如： 
You are to come when I call.
3、不定式作宾语
例如：I can not afford to buy a car.
注意：
①不定式不仅用作动词的宾语，还可用作个别介词（but, except）的宾语。
例如：I had no choice but to wait.
②当作宾语的不定式后跟有宾语补足语时，通常要用形式宾语it代替不定式，并将真正的宾语不定式置于宾语补足语之后
例如：I find it difficult to learn Japanese well.
4、不定式作宾语补足语
例如：Who taught you to drive?
5、不定式作定语
例如：I have a question to ask you.
注意：有的名词（如way, chance, right等）后用作不定式可换成of doing sth.
如：It is the best way to do (of doing) it.
但是以下名词后接不定式作定语时通常不能换成of doing sth.
attempt  courage  decision  effort  fortune  failure  invitation  wish
6、不定式作状语
例如：I went to France to learn French.

动名词：
如果一个动词加上了ing变成了名词，那么这个词称动名词。 动名词是一种兼有动词和名词特征的非限定动词。
它可以支配宾语，也能被副词修饰。
由于动名词是由动词变化而来，它仍保留着动词的某些特征，具有动词的某些变化形式，用以表达名词所不能表达的较为复杂的意念。
动名词的名词特征表现在它可在句子中当名词来用，作主语、宾语、表语、定语。

动名词的结构和形式：
动名词的否定结构：
动名词的否定结构由not 动名词组成。如：
Trying without success is better than not trying at all. 实验没有成功也比不实验好。
He hated himself for not having work hard. 他悔恨自己没有用功。
I’m sorry for not having telephoned you before. 很抱歉，没有早给你打电话。
He felt sorry for not having done the work well. 他为没有把工作做好感到难过。
I fancy it has done you a lot of good not going. 我看不去对你倒好了。
（not going 是动名词一般式的否定形式）
There is no denying the fact that he si diligent.
（no denying 也是动名词一般式的否定）

动名词复合结构：
通常情况下，动名词的逻辑主语为谓语动词的主语。如果动名词动作的发出者不失谓语动的主语时，则需要有自己的逻辑主语物主代词或名词所有格加动名词就构成了动名词的复合结构，这种结构在句中可以作主语，宾语等。
（1）逻辑主语是有生命的名词作主语时，必须用名词或代词所有格，作宾语时（尤其在口语中），也可用名词普通个或人称代词宾格。如：
Do you think my going there will be of any help?
你看我去会有什么帮助吗？（宾语）
The student’s knowing English well helps him in learning French.
这位学生通晓英语对他学法语很有帮助。（主语）
Do you mind my(me) smoking ? 你介意我抽烟吗？（宾语）
They insist on Mary’s (Mary) going with them there.
他们坚持要玛丽跟他们一起去那儿。（介词宾语）
（2）逻辑主语是无生命名词是，通常只用名词普通格。如：
Do you hear the rain pattering on the roof?
你听见雨点打在屋顶上了吗？
Is there any hope of our team winning the match ?
我们对赢得比赛有希望吗？
(3) 逻辑主语是指示代词或不定代词this that , somebody , someone , nobody, none, anybody, anyone 时，只用普通格。如：
She was woken up by somebody shouting outside.
她被外面喊叫的人吵醒了。

动名词的形式（一般式，完成式和被动式）：
(1) 动名词的一般式所表示的动作与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生，或在谓语动词表示的动作之后。如：
We are very interested in collecting stamps. 我们对集邮很感兴趣。
His coming will be of great help to us . 他来对我们大有帮助。
但是有些明确表示时间的动词和介词　after, on,upon, 或for之后，常用一般式代替完成式，表示动作发生在谓语动作之前。如：
I shall never forget seeing the Great Wall for the first time.我永远不会忘记第一次看到长城的情景。
On hearing that bad news , the mother couldn’t help crying. 一听到这个糟糕的消息，母亲就禁不住哭了起来。
Excuse me for coming late. 我来晚了，请原谅。
Thank you for giving us so much help. 谢谢你给了我们这么多帮助。
(2) 动名词的完成式所表示的动作或状态在谓语动词之前完成或结束。
He regrets not having taken part in the work. 他后悔没有参加这项工作。
We were praised for having finished the work ahead of time. 我们因提前完成了这项工作而受到了表扬。
(3)动名词的被动式：当动名词的逻辑主语是行为承受者时，用被动语态。如：
I like being given harder work. 我喜欢接受难点的工作。
She is proud of being admitted into the university. 她为被大学录取而感到自豪。
The meeting was put off without his having been consulted. 会议延期并未和他商量。
He doesn’t mind having been criticized. 他不介意过去受到的批评。

动名词与现在分词的关系：
动名词它在形式上与现在分词相同，都是在动词原形的词末加-ing。在现代语法中，这两种形式同视为"-ing形式"。
这两种形式的另一个相同之处是：
它们都是由动词变化而成的，它们都保留了动词的某些特征，它们都能带自己的宾语、状语，而构成动名词短语或是现在分词短语去担当句子成分。
例如：
Speaking in the public,he will surely be very cheerful .
（现在分词短语，作状语）他在公众场所讲话时总是兴高采烈的。
She hates speaking in the public.
（动名词短语，作宾语）她不喜欢在公众场所讲话。

动名词和现在分词都可以用于系动词之后作表语，区别方法是：
①作表语的动名词与主语指的是同一件事，此时系动词相当于“是”，通常把主语和表语的位置互换，语法和意思不变，例如：
My hobby is swimming.可改为Swimming is my hobby.(可将原句中的主语与表语位置互换)
②现在分词作表语主要用以说明主语的性质，不能与主语互换位置，例如：
The story is interesting .不可改为：Interesting is the story.
2.动名词和现在分词都可以用作定语来修饰名词，两者的区别在于：
动名词修饰名词时主要表示该名词的用途，而现在分词修饰名词时性质、状态或动作等。试比较：
①a swimming boy和a swimming suit
前者的意思是“一个正在游泳的男孩”，即a boy who is swimming，现在分词swimming 表示被修饰名词boy的动作；
而后者的意思是“游泳衣”，即a suit for swimming,动名词swimming表示suit 的用途。
②a sleeping child 和 a sleeping car
前者的意思是“一个正在睡觉的孩子”，即a child who is sleeping，现在分词sleeping 表示被修饰名词 child 正处于的状态；
而后者的意思是“卧车(被用来睡觉的车厢)”，即 a car which is used for sleeping,动名词 sleeping 表示car 的用途。

动名词用法口诀：
动名词常泛指，句法作用宾/表/定与主，时态/语态之形式，一般/完成/被动式。
Being done 系被动，不含任何进行意。用作主语请留意，常用it作形式主语，不指未来发生事，表达的信息系已知。
用作表语请记清，作用相当一名词，检验方法很简单，主与表换位能成立。
用作定语也易辩，表示名词之用途。
用作宾语稍复杂，关键留意谓语动词（跟动名词作宾语的常用动词附后），时态同谓动作比较，先于谓动用完成式，其逻辑主语不固定，在句中/句外均有之。
否定式其前加not，复合式其前加物主词，非句首宾格词也可用，尤其口语中更如此。
说明：1、主-----主语 2、宾-----宾语 3、表------表语 4、定------定语 5、谓动---谓语动词

动名词的用法：
一、动名词作主语 
1. 直接位于句首做主语。例如： 　　
     Swimming is a good sport in summer. 　　
2. 用 it 作形式主语，把动名词(真实主语)置于句尾作后置主语。 　　
动名词做主语时，不太常用 it 作先行主语，多见于某些形容词及名词之后。例如：
It is no use telling him not to worry. 　　
常见的能用于这种结构的形容词还有：better，wonderful，enjoyable，interesting，foolish，difficult，useless，senseless，worthwhile，等。 　　
注意：important，essential，necessary 等形容词不能用于上述结构。 　　
3. 用于“There be”结构中。例如： 　　
There is no saying when he'll come.很难说他何时回来。 　　 
4. 用于布告形式的省略结构中。例如： 　　
No smoking ( =No smoking is allowed (here) ). （禁止吸烟） 　　
No parking. （禁止停车） 　　
5. 动名词的复合结构作主语 　　
当动名词有自己的逻辑主语时，常可以在前面加上一个名词或代词的所有格，构成动名词的复合结构
(这时，名词或代词的所有格做动名词的逻辑主语)。
动名词的复合结构也可以在句中作主语。例如： 　　 
Their coming to help was a great encouragement to us. 　　

二、动名词作宾语
1.作动词的宾语 　　
某些动词后出现非限定性动词时只能用动名词作宾语，不能用不定式。常见的此类动词有：
admit, appreciate, excuse, stand, advise, allow, permit, avoid,  consider, enjoy, finish     
They went on walking and never stopped talking.他们继续走，说个不停。 
I found it pleasant walking along the seashore.在海滩上走真是乐事。 　　
Mark often attempts to escape being fined whenever he breaks traffic  regulations. 　　
每当马克违反交通规则时，他常常企图逃避罚款的处分。 　　 
2.作介词的宾语 　　
We are thinking of making a new plan for the next term. 我们正考虑为下学期制定新的计划。 　　
Shall we have a rest or get down to doing our work? 我们休息呢还是开始干活？ 　　
3.作形容词的宾语 　　
The music is well worth listening to more than once.  这种曲子很值得多听几遍。 　　
We are busy preparing for the coming sports meet. 我们正为马上到来的运动会忙着做准备。

三、动名词作表语
动名词作表语时句子主语常是表示无生命的事物的名词或what引导的名词性从句。
表语、动名词与主语通常是对等的关系，表示主语的内容，主语、表语可互换位置。 　　
Your task is cleaning the windows.   你的任务就是擦窗户。
(Cleaning the windows is your task.) 　　
What I hate most is being laughed at.  我最痛恨的就是被别人嘲笑。
(Being laughed at is what I hate most.)

四、动名词作定语
动名词作定语往往表示被修饰词的某种用途。如： 　　
a walking stick ＝a stick for walking=a stick which is used for walking 　　
a washing machine=a machine for washing=a machine which is used for washing 　　 
a reading room=a room for reading=a room which is used for reading 　　
a measuring tape=a tape for measuring=a tape which is used for measuring 　　
sleeping pills=pills for sleeping=pills which is used for sleeping

动名词是非限定动词的一种形式，由动词原形+ing构成。它既有动词的特征，又有名词的特征，故称。
动名词也有时态和语态的变化，如表所示（以及物动词write为例），不及物动词没有语态的变化。

时态、语态	主动	被动
一般式	writing	being  written
完成式 having written		having been written

动名词使用注意事项：
1） 动名词做主语时，谓语动词为单数
2） 在动名词和不定式中，作为介词的宾语是动名词
3） 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
例：I would appreciate you calling back this afternoon.
4） 有些词后只能接动名词
acknowledge;admit; advise;advocate;allow;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...
5） 另外还有一些接-ing形式的常用说法
it’s no good; it’s no/little/hardly any/ use; it’s not/hardly/scarcely use; it’s worthwhile; spend money/time; there’s no;
there’s no point in; there’s nothing worse than; what’s the use/point
6） 有些词后面加不定式和动名词均可
remember,forget,try,stop,go on,continue,stop,regret,cease,mean后面均可用不定式和-ing形式，但意义截然不容。
例：remember to do/doing：
①I remembered to post the letters.（指未来/过去未来将要做的动作）
②I remembered posting/having posted the letters.（我记得做过这个动作）
 forget与remember的用法类似。
 regret的用法：
①I regret to inform you that…（我很遗憾地通知你……）
②I regretted having left the firm after twenty years.（为了“二十年前的离开”而遗憾。）
 try to（努力）与try +–ing（试验）：
①You really must try to overcome your shyness.
②Try practicing five hours a day.

一般疑问句：
是疑问句的一种。通常用yes，no来回答的疑问句叫做一般疑问句。口语中若无特殊含义，句末用升调。
其结构是：系动词be/助动词/情态动词＋主语＋其他成分？　
通常回答为： 　　
肯定：Yes+主语+提问的助动词 　　
否定：No+主语+提问的助动词+not 
例如：
Are you from Japan?   Yes, I am.／No, I'm not.
Do you live near your school?　Yes, I do.／No, I don't. 
Can you speak French? 　Yes, I can.／No, I can't.
一般疑问句的特性：
1．将陈述句变为一般疑问句时，如句中有be 动词（am/ is/ are）时，可直接将它们提至主语前。
如主语为第一人称，应将其改为第二人称。如：
I'm in Class 2Grade 1． →Are you in Class 2Grade 1﹖
We're watching TV． →Are you watching TV﹖
2．陈述句中有情态动词（can、may、must …）时，也可直接将它们提至主语前，即可成为一般疑问句。如：
He can swim now． →Can he swim now﹖
The children may come with us． → May the children come with us﹖
3．陈述句中只有一个实义动词作谓语且其时态为一般现在时，变为一般疑问句时要在句首加do或does主语后的实义动词用原形。如：
I like these animals． →Do you like these animals﹖
She wants to go to the movies． → Does she want to go to the movies﹖
4．一般疑问句一般读升调(↑)
5．一般疑问句有时不用yes或 no 回答。如：
Are they in town now﹖
I think so.
May I sit here﹖
Certainly．
Does he like soccer﹖
Sorry I don't know．
6. 一般疑问句的第一单词总是虚词,读的时候要读轻声。
陈述句变为一般疑问句技巧：
根据一般疑问句不同的家族，可以用不同的方法将陈述句变为相应的一般疑问句。
1、第一家族：含be动词或情态动词的句子
秘诀：一调二改三问号
一调：即把句中的be或情态动词调到主语前；
二改：改换主语称谓，即将句中的主语Imy minesweourours等。第一人称分别改为相应的第二人称youyour yours等；
三问号：句末的句号改为问号。如：
Eg. I am an English teacher.    →    Are you an English teacher?
Eg. We can speak English fluently.   →    Can you speak English fluently?

2、第二家族：含行为动词（或称为实义动词）的句子
秘诀：一加二改三问号
一加：即在句首加助动词Do或Does；
二改：1、把谓语动词改为原形；2、改换主语称谓（同第一家组）；
三问号：句末的句号改为问号。
Eg. We read English every morning. → Do you read English every morning?
Eg. Tom’s father listens to English on the radio every evening. →Does Tom’s father listen to English on the radio every evening?
特别注意：对于第二家族一定要注意动词的还原，因为时态与数的变化已经体现在助动词上了。

3、加强记忆口诀：
肯变一，并不难，can 或be提在前；
谓语若为行为动，do 或does句首用。

状语从句：
指句子用作状语时，起副词作用的句子。它可以修饰谓语、非谓语动词、定语、状语或整个句子。
根据其作用可分为时间、地点、原因、条件、目的、结果、让步、方式和比较等从句。
状语从句一般由连词(从属连词)引导，也可以由词组引起。
从句位于句首或句中时通常用逗号与主句隔开，位于句尾时可以不用逗号隔开。
