2008年工程碩士GCT英語考試詞匯語法指導三十七

1．在it’s no use, it’s not much use, it’s no good后要求用動詞＋-ing。但是在it is of no use后則要用動詞不定式。：
    It’s no use crying about it. You must do something.
    It’s no good writing to him; he never answers letters.
    It’s of no use to cry over spilt milk.
    2．在有些動詞后面既可以跟動詞＋-ing，也可以跟動詞不定式，這類動詞有： advocate,
    attempt,
    (can’t) bear,
    begin,
    cease,
    continue,
    deserve,
    dislike,
    dread,
     fear,
    forget,
    hate,
    intend,
    like,
    love,
    need,
    neglect,
    plan,
     prefer,
    propose,
    regret,
    remember,
    require
    start,
    try,
    want
    在有些動詞后面，兩種結構之間的意義差別不大。例如：
    He prefers writing (to write) an outline before he writes a summary.
    He had really intended staying (to stay) longer.
    但在某些動詞之后，兩種結構之間的意義差別較明顯。
