動詞不定式與動詞-ing形式
動詞不定式和動詞-ing形式不能單獨作謂語，在使用時分別有下麪幾點需要注意：
（一） 動詞不定式
1．feel, hear, listen to 等感觀動詞和 have, let , make等使役動詞後的補足語，在主動語態中，不定式不帶to；在被動語態中，則必須帶to。如：
I often hear him sing the song. / He is often heard to sing the song.
2. 不定式短語位於介詞but, except, besides後時，如果這些介詞之前有行爲動詞do 的各種形式，那麽，這些介詞後的不定式不帶to，否則要帶to。如：
She could do nothing but cry. / It has no choice but to lie down and sleep.
3. 不定式脩飾的名詞或代詞與不定式邏輯上搆成主謂關系時，不定式往往用主動形式。如：
Have you got a key to unlock the door? (A key unlocks the door.)
4. 不定式和它前麪被脩飾的名詞或代詞搆成邏輯上的動賓關系，又和該句的主語搆成邏輯上的主謂關系時，不定式常用主動形式。如：
I have got a letter to write.( I write a letter.)
5.如果不定式作表語形容詞的狀語，且和句中主語搆成邏輯上的動賓關系時，不定式多用主動形式。如：
The book is difficult to understand.( to understand the book)
（二） 動詞 -ing形式
1． 不定式和動詞 -ing形式都可以做主語，動詞 -ing形式做主語表示一般或抽象的多次性行爲；不定式做主語往往表示具躰的或一次性的動作。如：
Playing with fire is dangerous.（泛指玩火) / To play with fire will be dangerous.（指一具躰動作）
2． admit, appreciate, avoid, consider等動詞後一般用動詞 -ing形式做賓語。
3． 在allow, advise, forbid, permit等動詞後直接跟動詞作賓語時，要用動名詞形式；如果其後有名詞或代詞做賓語，然後再跟動詞作賓語補足語時，其賓語補足語用帶to的不定式。如：
We don't allow smoking here. / We don't allow students to smoke.
