☆Start doing sth. 开始做某事
4. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them.
☆so…that,such…that:so后面是跟形容词和副词;而such后面是跟名词。
such…that…与so…that…都可以用来引导结果状语从句,意为“如此……以致……”。
such…that…的句型结构可分为以下三种:
①such +a(n)(+adj.)+单数可数名词+that从句。
She is such a good teacher that all of us love and respect her.
Table tennis is such an interesting game that people all over the world play it.
②such(+adj.)+复数可数名词+that从句。如:
They are such interesting books that I want to read them once more/again.
③such(adj.)+不可数名词+that从句。如:
It was such bad weather that I had to stay at home.
2)so是副词,与形容词或副词连用,其结构是:so+adj.(adv.)+that从句。
He ran so fast that I couldn’t catch up with him.
I am so sleepy that I can hardly keep my eyes open.
注意
①当名词前面有many,much,few,little等表示数量多少的限定词时,应该用so,而不能用such。
There were so many people in the street watching the fire that firefighters could not get close to the building.
②当单数名词前有形容词时,既可用so,也可用such,但不定冠词的位置却有所不同。
★This is such an important meeting that you should attend it.(=This is so important a meeting that you should attend it.)这是一次很重要的会议,你一定要参加。

6. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them.
7. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away.
这两个人吓了一跳,result
☆such…that
☆need/want doing sth. 需要被做,后面接的动名词有被动的含义。=need to be done
The car needs washing.
☆mend是表示“修修补补,小修小补”,常用于修补打破、撕破的东西或衣物等。repair也是表示“修理”,不过repair是指修理好损坏的、用旧的东西,或是出故障的机器
Our clavichord is being repaired. 我们家的击弦古钢琴正在修理。
I’ll mend the shirt. 我会补那件衬衫的。
总之,repair比mend正式,表示缝补的时候我们多用mend.

【Key structures】
动名词
1、动名词可以做主语、宾语、介词宾语等
Washing the car made me tired.(主语)
Before leaving the office, he gave me a book.(宾语)
I am very keen on cycling.(介宾)
2、动名词还可以用于“动词+介词”之后
①to后跟动名词的有(此时to为介词)
look forward to doing sth. 期盼做某事
I am looking forward to seeing him tomorrow.
be accustomed to doing sth. 习惯于做某事
I am accustomed to getting up early.
我习惯早起.
be used to doing sth. 习惯做某事

prefer doing to doing与 …相比更喜欢做… I prefer walking to driving.

devote oneself to doing sth. (全身心投入做某事)
My mother devotes herself to doing housework.
object to doing sth. 反对做某事
I object to eating out. 我反对在外面吃饭.
pay attention to doing sth.
②其他介词
get/be tired of doing sth. 对……厌烦, 作为系动词get可与be 替换
believe in 信任,信仰
believe in + sb. 表示信任某人,信仰某人
believe in + doing sth. 信仰...
I belive in taking it easy. (take it easy 轻松,放松,慢慢来)
accuse sb. of doing sth. 因某事控告某人(accuse vt. 控告;指控)
The police accused him of stealing. 警方控告他犯有盗窃罪.
be afraid of /be good at /do well in/等
3、在start,begin,continue等后面,既可以用不定式又可以用动名词,区别不大:
I began to learn/learning English two years ago.
③与表示心理状态的词连用:begin to realize/understand. She began to understand. 她渐渐地明白了。
但在有些情况,通常用to do.如:
①进行时态中:be beginning to do.
The water is beginning to boil.
水开始沸腾起来了。
②物作主语:sth begins/began to do sth.
It begins to rain.
4、在hate、love,like,prefer等动词后,用不定式和动名词意义有所区别。
hate,love,like+doing sth. 表示一种习惯(always)
hate,love,like+to do sth. 表示某一次行为(now)
would love /like to do sth. 表示想要
类似的词还有remember to do /doing
forget to do /doing
regret to do /doing
stop to do /doing
try to do /doing
mean to do /doing
5、在need,want之后,动名词形式具有被动的含义,相当于被动的不定式.
如果以物体做主语,可以直接加动词-ing,表达被动的含义
My shirt is torn. It needs mending. 我的衬衫撕破了, 需要缝补.
Those windows are dirty. They want washing. 那些窗户很脏, 需要洗刷
【Special Difficulties】
catch and run
catch主要意思是“抓住、捉住、逮住”,但有时可以表示“(及时)赶上、追上”等:
He ran quickly to catch the last bus home.
When she caught up with them, she saw that they were going through the contents of the bag.
run的本意是“跑”,后面加上不同的小品词可以表达“追赶,逃跑”等多种含义:
She has run off with all his money.
The man ran away with her bag.
run after
