动名词和不定式作主语的区别:动名词表一般习惯性,抽象的多次的动作;不定式表示一次性或尚未发生的动作
(有时可互换)Eg:1)
TeachingEnglishismyfull-timejob
Smokingmeanswastingalotofmoney
Gettingupearlyisgoodforourhealth
Tosavemoneynowisnoteasy
Totalktoheristotalktoawall
主语和表语/宾形式保持一致
Seeingisbelieving
=Toseeistobelieve
Savingishaving
为了保持句子的平衡,采用it作形式主语代todo/doing,常用句型:It’snouse/good/need+doing①It’suseless/worthwhile+doingEg:It’snousewaitinghere
It’snogoodhelpinghim
It’s+adj+forsb+todosth②Eg:It’sdifficultforhimtofinishthehardworkinaweek
Thereisno+doing(常用doing作主语),相当于Itisimpossibletodosth
Eg:Thereisnogettingalongwithhim
句中it作形式主语,than前后应构成对等关系
It’seasiertoreadaforeignlanguagethantospeakit
Readingaforeignlanguageiseasierthanspeakingit
单个动名词作主语时,谓语用单数形式,若有and并列多个动名词作主语时,谓语复数
Eg:Smokinganddrinkingareharmfultoo
