Unit3 The Computer and the Information Age 素材 语法细解1. 动名词前可加一名词所有格、人称代词宾格、形容词性物主代词和名词普通格构成动名词的逻辑主语
例如:My daughter’s staying up so late worried me
I’m not in favour of mother(‘s) selling the old house
Their coming to help was a great encouragement to us
I object to his/him making private calls on the office phone
当逻辑主语是无生命的东西时,只能用普通格,不能用所有格
I was afraid of the tent falling down during the night
当逻辑主语是不定代词或指示代词时,只用宾格,不能用所有格
She was awakened by someone knocking at the door
Is there any likelihood of this being true
当逻辑主语是较长的名词词组时,只用宾格,不用所有格
The leader insisted on Li Ming Wang Hai and Zhang Fan attending the meeting
在“there be”结构中,be 是动名词时,该结构也是一种带逻辑主语的动名词形式
Were you disappointed at there not having been more gifts
现在分词做状语时,要特别注意其逻辑主语与句子的主语保持一致
否则,现在分词必须带自己的主语(即它的逻辑主语),这种结构我们称之为分词的独立
