To 後用動名詞的解釋與例子

動名詞 gerund 與現在分詞 present participle (pp)，兩者拼音完全相同，如何區別如何運用，有些母语是英文的人，也🈶️難題。下面容我試用例句解釋。

Seeing is believing. 兩者都是動名詞。

Swimming is my favorite exercise. 這個 Swimming 是動名詞。

The children are swimming in the pool. 這裡的swimming 是 PP. 

looking forward to seeing you. Looking 是 pp. seeing 是動名詞。

動名詞的作用，與名詞相同，可作為句孑中的主詞或受词。名詞是人地事物的名稱，動名詞意指行動或動作的觀念，不是指動作。現在分词可作為形容詞用， 動名詞則不然。

to  + 動名詞 = 對 to 某件事或觀念gerund 來說，一個人的心態或事物的本質如何如何，而不意謂何時會有什麼行動。這類句子中的 to 是介系詞，其後所接的字或片语，應該是名詞或動名詞，做為 to 的受詞。

很多人寫或說 Looking forward to see you. 這句中的 see 該用 seeing 的理由：與你會面，是一回事，不是動作，也就是說與你會見seeing you 這回事，正在期待著 looking forward。

下面是我收集與所造的一些用動名詞造句的例子。
