七、-ING 结构形式作宾语补足语

有几类动词带宾语可以接-ING 形式作宾语补足语

  1. 表示感觉和心理状态的动词,如 hear, feel, find, listen to, look at, notice, observe, see, smell, watch。

I heard him walking to this way./He felt someone touching his shoulder./We found the baby drinking milk by itself./She watched her fiance dispearing far away.

注意:see, hear, feel, watch, notice 等动词后,除了能跟-ING 形式以外,还能跟动词不定式(不带 to)。这两者是有区别的:用

-ING 形式时,表示动作正在发生,即处于发生的过程中,还没有结束(1)、(3),或表示一次动作(5);用不定式时表示动作发生了,即动作全部过程结束了(2)、(4),或表示反复动作(6)。

  1. I saw him coming out of the house.(=Just as he came out of the house, I saw him.)

  2. I saw him come out of the house and drive away by his

motorcar.(=He came out of the house and drove away by his motorcar. I saw all this.)

  1. ——I hear somebody shouting outside.

  2. ——Yes, I heard him shout several times to catch the thief.

  3. I heard him knock at the door.

  4. We heard the door slamming.

  1. 表示“致使”等意义的动词,如:catch, have, get, keep, leave, set.

I am sorry to have kept you waiting for me so long./What you have told left me thinking that you experienced much when you were young.
