英文文法│動詞後面要再接動詞，怎麼辦？

名師告訴你

有時候，我們需要在動詞後面再接一個動作，例如「享受烹飪」，我們要說 enjoy cooking，cooking是動名詞形式，它不可以作不定詞形式(to cook)。但是「計畫去旅行」，我們說plan to travel，to travel是不定詞形式，它不可以作動名詞形式(traveling)。這是為什麼？

那是因為enjoy這個動詞，後面的動詞一律用動名詞形(V-ing)。而plan這個動詞，後面的動詞一律用不定詞形(to V)。換句話說，只要把簡單的規則背起來，就不會弄錯。

另一個好消息是，後面只能接動名詞的動詞，遠比後面只能接不定詞的動詞，來得少很多。也就是說，把後面只能接動名詞的動詞背起來，其他的狀況使用不定詞，就幾乎不會犯錯了。現在就來看看，哪些動詞後面，只能接動名詞吧！

後面只能接動名詞的動詞：

英文動詞	例句
finish (完成)	I can’t finish cleaning the room at 4 o’clock.
mind (介意)	Do you mind closing the windows?
spend (花費)	I spend 30 minutes riding my bike to work every day.
avoid (避免)	He tries to avoid meeting Jane in the hallway.
enjoy (喜歡、享受)	Jack enjoys cooking on weekends.
practice (練習)	Let’s practice playing that song.
keep (繼續、保持)	I want to keep taking care of you.
quit (戒斷、辭掉)	Jack can’t quit smoking.
feel like (想要)	Amy feels like dancing.

另外一個規則，更為簡單明瞭。動詞片語末尾有介係詞，介係詞後面的動詞必須是動名詞：

英文動詞	例句
give up	Do not give up trying.
think about	I’m thinking about moving to another city.
talk about	Let’s talk about shopping for Christmas.
be afraid of	Are you afraid of walking in the dark?
be good at	Lisa is good at playing the violin.
be poor at	Wendy is poor at drawing.
be tired of	James is tired of spending all his time at work.

現在來想想，下面的空格要怎麼填：

(1) Jesse is thinking about _________ (move) to Taiwan to work.
(傑西正在考慮搬到台灣工作。)
(2) I want to keep _________ (work) until I am seventy.
(我想要繼續工作到七十歲。)

解析：

(1) Jesse is thinking ___about moving___ to Taiwan to work.
介係詞about 後面若接動詞，要用動名詞

(2) I want to ___keep working___ until I am seventy.
(keep這個動詞，後面再接動詞時，只能用動名詞
