英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法大全-8. 特殊詞精講
8.1 stop doing/to do
stop to do 停止,中斷做某事后去做另一件事。stop doing 停止做某事。
They stop to smoke a cigarette. 他們停下來(lái),抽了根煙。
I must stop smoking. 我必須戒煙了。
典型例題
She reached the top of the hill and stopped ___ on a big rock by the side of the path.
A. to have rested B. resting C. to rest D. rest
答案:C。由題意可知,她到了山頂,停下來(lái)在一個(gè)路邊的大石頭上休息。因此,應(yīng)選擇"stop to do sth. 停下來(lái)去做另一件事"。而不僅僅是爬山動(dòng)作的終止,所以stop doing sth.不正確。
8.2 forget doing/to do
forget to do 忘記要去做某事。 (未做)forget doing 忘記做過(guò)某事。 (已做)
The light in the office is stil on. He forgot to turn it off.

典型例題
---- The light in the office is still on.
---- Oh,I forgot___.
A. turning it off B. turn it off C. to turn it off D. having turned it off
答案:C。由the light is still on 可知燈亮著,即關(guān)燈的動(dòng)作沒(méi)有發(fā)生,因此用forget to do sth.
而forget doing sth表示燈已經(jīng)關(guān)上了,而自己忘記了這一事實(shí)。此處不符合題意。
