有些动词后面只能接doing。

如：admit, avoid, consider, delay, enjoy, escape, finish, imagine,

keep, miss, mention, practice, risk, stop, suggest等。

有些动词后面只能接to do。如：agree, decide, expect, hope,

long(渴望),manage, plan, pretend,

refuse, wish等。

有些动词后面接doing和to do 都可以，且意思差别细微，或看作

没差别。如：begin, start, hate, like, love, continue, refer等；

但另一类词差别很大。如：forget, remember, mean, try, regret等。

还有 go on; remind sb. of doing sth.(使人想起)和remind sb. to

do(提醒)。另外，stop doing停止干；stop to do停下来去干某

事，to do是目的状语。

Seeing is believing.

The story is moving/exciting/interesting.

(4)作宾补：

【注意】

1.动词-ing形式的逻辑主语有三种形式：

(1)doing前加物主代词。如：my doing；

(2)doing前加名词所有格。如：Tom's doing；

(3)作宾语时doing前可加人称代词宾格。如：me doing。例如:

Mary's coming late made Mr. Smith angry.

She didn't mind his (him) crying.

2.否定式在其前面加not;完成式having done;被动式being done。

例如:

Not knowing what to do, he turned to his teacher for help.

Having finished their homework, they watched TV.

He had hoped to take his seat without being seen.
