(2)有关分词句型
1) 在表示感觉和心里状态的动词see，hear，feel，smell，listen(to)，notice，observe，smell，watch这类表示感觉的动词之后常跟“宾语+现在分词”的复合结构，这种动词与分词之间的宾语可以是普通名词或专有名词(人各等)，也可以是代词宾格(him，us 等)。例如：
She smelt something burning and saw smoke rising.她闻到有东西在燃烧并看到有烟升起来了。
I watched them rehearsing the play.我看他们排演戏。
I could feel the wind blowing on my face.我能感觉到风在我脸上吹过。
2)表示“致使”等意义的动词，如：catch，find，leave，give，have，get，set后也可跟上述(1)的结构，有时也可跟过去分词结构。例如：
I caught them stealing my apples.我抓住他们偷我的苹果。
If she catches me reading her diary，she’ll be furious.如果她抓住我偷看她的日记，她会愤怒的。

3)go +现在分词表示“从事…”之意，这时现在分词做主语补语。go之后所接现在分词均表示短暂而又愉快的户外活动。如：jogging慢跑，fishing钓鱼，dancing跳舞，skating溜冰，bowling打保龄球，shopping 购物，sightseeing游览，camping露营。
I’ll go camping tomorrow.我明天去露营。

5)What do you say to + ing分词?(……怎么样?)

(3)有关动词不定式句型
下面这些词组是不定式的习惯用法，只能用不定式形式。
can not help but do, can not but do, cannot choose but do, can do nothing but do, have no choice/alternative to do
When I consider how talented he is as a painter, I cannot help but believe that the public will appreciate his gift.
(4)there be的非谓语形式
there be非谓语形式可在句中作主语、宾语、状语和定语。(其中作宾语和状语在1991年和1994年测试过，定语见1996年题10。)
The students expected there to be more reviewing classes before the final exams.(作宾语如1991年题30)
1)作动词宾语时，通常用there to be结构，而不用there being。能这样用的及物动词为：expect，like，mean，intend，want，prefer，hate等，如：
