admit， consider， enjoy， dislike， practice， finish， mind， miss， be good at， look forward to， be tired of， be interested in， be afraid of， be fond of等。

注意：有的動詞后面可以接動詞—ing形式作賓語，也可接to do形式作賓語補足語。如：allow / advise / forbid / permit等動詞就有兩種不同的結構。

We don’t allow smoking here.

我們這里不允許吸煙。

We don’t allow people to smoke here.

我們不允許人們在這里吸煙。

The enemy could do nothing but surrender.

敵人毫無辦法，只得投降。

I’d rather work in the countryside.

我寧愿在農村工作。

On Sunday afternoon I had nothing to do but watch TV.

星期天下午我沒事可做只能看電視。

I don’t know what else to do except watch a lot of movies.

注意：

1. love，like，hate，prefer之后，用不定式表示某一具體動作或情況，用動詞—ing形式表示一般性，經常性動作。

2. need， demand， want， require在表示“需要”時，其后跟動名詞作它的賓語時，必須用動詞—ing主動形式，或不定式的被動式，這時，動名詞的主動式表示被動意義。

The window needs / wants cleaning / to be cleaned.

需要打掃窗戶了。

一、動詞—ing形式作主語表示一般或抽象的多次行為。

Collecting stamps is interesting. 集郵很有趣。

Seeing is believing. 百聞不如一見。

二、It作形式主語，真正的主語動詞—ing形式后置。這種情形一般見于表語是fun， good， joy， use， a waste of （time / money / energy） 或形容詞good， nice， useless， interesting， worth等的句子中。

It is a waste of time persuading such a person to join us.

勸說這樣的人加入我們簡直就是浪費時間。

It is no use arguing with them.

同他們爭論也無濟于事。
