动词之后 动词后面接哪种形式其他词之后 介词和 to其他句型 主语、形容词、目的、被动

核心思路:动词后面接哪种形式?

动词、介词或形容词之后,英语需要特定的形式:-ing、to 加动词原形,或不带 to 的动词原形。通常由前面的词决定。

跟在动词后面的三种形式:-ing 形式、to 加动词原形,以及不带 to 的动词原形
形式 后接于 例句
-ing (gerund) enjoy, avoid, finish, suggest;介词;句子的主语 I enjoy cooking. She is interested in joining.
to + 动词原形 (infinitive) want, decide, hope, refuse;许多形容词;目的 They decided to rent a car. It’s hard to say no.
动词原形 情态动词, would rather, had better, make, let, have She can drive. The joke made me laugh.
  1. 1
    它是情态动词、would rather、had better、make、let 或 have 吗? 使用不带 to 的动词原形(第 2 部分)。
  2. 2
    前面的词是介词吗? 使用 -ing,即使介词是 to,如 look forward to(第 4 部分)。
  3. 3
    否则,这个动词属于哪一组? 学习 -ing 组和 to 组(第 1 部分),并留意会改变意思的动词(第 3 部分)。
  4. 4
    主语是动作的承受者,还是动作发生得更早? 使用被动或完成形式(第 5 部分)。

动词之后选择 -ing 还是 to,主要靠记忆。分组是最快的学习方法。

1

动词之后

动词之后:-ing 还是 to?

这个动词属于 -ing 组还是 to 组?没有规则,所以要记住分组。

规则: Enjoy, avoid, finish, mind, consider 和 keep 后面接 -ing。Want, decide, hope, refuse, afford 和 manage 后面接 to 加动词原形。

需要记住的两组

接 -ing 接 to + 动词原形
enjoy, finish, mind, quit want, decide, hope, plan
avoid, deny, admit refuse, agree, promise
consider, discuss, suggest, imagine afford, manage, offer
keep, practice, miss learn, expect, seem
句型 例句
动词 + -ing He finished reading the novel. We discussed hiring more staff.
动词 + to He managed to fix the printer. They decided to rent a car.
否定 She admitted not reading the email. She promised not to tell anyone.

to 之后,动词不会出现时态变化:decided to rent,而不是 decided to rented。Consider 和 discuss 后面直接接 -ing,不加 about。

本部分的常见错误

  • 动词需要 -ing 却用了 toI really enjoy to travel alone.✓ I really enjoy traveling alone.Enjoy 后面接 -ing。
  • 动词需要 to 却用了 -ingThey refused paying the extra fee.✓ They refused to pay the extra fee.Refuse 后面接 to 加动词原形。
  • 介词缺少或多余We discussed about moving the meeting.✓ We discussed moving the meeting.Discuss 后面直接接 -ing 形式,不加 about。
补充:拼写提示

动名词遵循通常的 -ing 拼写规则:write 变成 writing,sit 变成 sitting,lie 变成 lying。美式拼写中 traveling 和 canceling 只有一个 l。

2

动词之后

情态动词和带宾语的动词

它是情态动词、make、let 或 have 吗?那就用动词原形。动词带宾语吗?看看它是否接 to。

规则: 情态动词、would rather、had better、make、let 和 have 后面接动词原形。Want, ask, tell 和 allow 后面接宾语加 to。Suggest 后面接 -ing 或 that 从句。

什么时候不用 to

句型 形式 例句
情态动词 动词原形 She can drive.
would rather, had better 动词原形 I’d rather walk. You’d better hurry.
would like, would love, would prefer to + 动词原形 I’d like to walk.
make, let, have + 宾语 动词原形 The joke made me laugh. Let me carry that.
want, ask, tell, allow + 宾语 to + 动词原形 He told us to sit down.
suggest, recommend -ing,或 that + 主语 + 动词原形 She suggested going by bus. She suggested that we go by bus.

Suggest 后面从不接宾语加 to:不能说 she suggested us to go。

本部分的常见错误

  • suggest 之后用了宾语加 toMy tutor suggested me to read the news.✓ My tutor suggested that I read the news.Suggest 后面接 -ing 或 that 从句,不接宾语加 to。
  • 宾语之后用了错误的形式The manager made us to stay late.✓ The manager made us stay late.Make 后面接宾语和不带 to 的动词原形。
  • 需要动词原形或 -ing 的地方用了带时态的动词I couldn't found my keys.✓ I couldn't find my keys.情态动词之后用动词原形,即使表示过去也一样。
3

动词之后

同一个动词,不同的意思

形式会改变意思吗?那就问问它是任务还是记忆。

规则: Stop, remember, forget 和 regret 会改变意思:-ing 表示动作本身或记忆,to 表示任务、目的或通知。

任务还是记忆?

动词 + -ing + to
stop stop smoking:结束这个动作 stop to rest:停下来去做某事
remember I remember locking it:一段记忆 Remember to lock it:一项任务
forget I’ll never forget meeting her:一段记忆 I forgot to email her:没做的任务
regret I regret saying that:对过去感到抱歉 We regret to say:正式通知

两种形式,意思几乎相同

startbegincontinuelikelovehateprefer

It started to rain 和 it started raining 的意思几乎相同。

本部分的常见错误

  • stop、remember、forget 或 regret 之后用了错误的形式I forgot locking the car, so I went back.✓ I forgot to lock the car, so I went back.没做的任务后面接 to 加动词原形。
  • stop、remember、forget 或 regret 之后用了错误的形式He stopped to eat meat three years ago.✓ He stopped eating meat three years ago.Stop 加 -ing 表示结束一个习惯。
  • stop、remember、forget 或 regret 之后用了错误的形式I regret to lend him my car last week.✓ I regret lending him my car last week.对过去的后悔后面接 -ing。
补充:try

Try to stay calm 意思是做一次尝试。 Try restarting it 意思是当作实验来做,看看会发生什么。两者常有重叠,通常可以根据语境判断是哪一种。

4

其他词之后

介词、to 和 used to

动词前面的词是介词吗?这里的 to 是介词,还是动词的一部分?

规则: 介词之后用 -ing,包括 look forward to 和 be used to 里的 to。Used to 加动词原形表示过去的习惯。Spend time 和 have trouble 后面接 -ing。

to 是介词吗?

句型 形式 例句
介词之后 -ing She is interested in joining the club. Before leaving, check the windows.
look forward to, object to -ing(to 是介词) I look forward to meeting you.
be used to, get used to -ing(to 是介词) I’m used to playing on grass.
used to(过去的习惯) 动词原形(to 是动词的一部分) We used to play tennis.
spend time, have trouble, it’s worth -ing He spent a week painting the fence. It’s worth checking.

一个快速测试:如果 to 后面可以放名词(I look forward to the weekend),那么 to 是介词,动词接 -ing。

本部分的常见错误

  • 介词之后用了 to 或动词原形I'm looking forward to work with you.✓ I'm looking forward to working with you.在 look forward to 中,to 是介词,所以后面接 -ing。
  • 混淆 used to 和 be used toI'm used to eat spicy food.✓ I'm used to eating spicy food.Be used to 后面接 -ing。
  • spend time、have trouble 或 worth 之后用了 toShe spends hours to practice the violin.✓ She spends hours practicing the violin.Spend time 后面接 -ing。
5

其他句型

形容词、目的和被动形式

这个动词是主语、在形容词之后,还是表示目的?主语是做动作还是承受动作?

规则: 用作主语的动词接 -ing。形容词、too、enough 和目的之后接 to。Being done 和 to be done 是被动;having done 和 to have done 表示更早的动作。

位置和语态决定形式

句型 形式 例句
用作主语的动词 -ing Swimming is good exercise.
许多形容词之后 to + 动词原形 It’s hard to say no.
too 或 enough to + 动词原形 The print is too small to read. She is old enough to vote.
目的 to + 动词原形 She saved money to buy a bike.
被动 being done, to be done I hate being interrupted. Everyone wants to be liked.
更早的动作 having done, to have done Having lived there, she knows the area. He seems to have forgotten.

本部分的常见错误

  • 用作主语的动词用了错误的形式Eat too much sugar is bad for your teeth.✓ Eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth.用作主语的动词接 -ing。
  • 被动或完成形式错误She hates telling what to wear.✓ She hates being told what to wear.她是动作的承受者,所以用 being 加过去分词。
  • 表示目的时用了 for 或 -ing 而不是 toHe joined a gym for lose weight.✓ He joined a gym to lose weight.表示目的时接 to 加动词原形。

我想练习英语的动名词和不定式:后接 -ing 或 to 的动词,情态动词以及 make、let、have 之后的动词原形,suggest 和带宾语的动词,会改变意思的动词(如 stop、remember、forget 和 regret),介词和 to 的两种用法(look forward to、used to、be used to),以及被动或完成形式(如 being told 和 to have left)。请一次只给我一道题,并轮换题型:填空、选择题(A 到 D)、“这个句子对不对?”判断题和句子改写。要确保语境让答案只有一个正确选项。依次循环五个方面:动词之后用 -ing 还是 to、情态动词和带宾语的动词、同一动词不同意思、介词和 to、形容词、目的和被动形式。从中等难度开始,连续答对两题就提高难度,连续答错两题就降低难度。如果我答错了,请用中文解释规则,然后继续。每 10 道题之后,告诉我这五个方面中哪些需要复习。
