3、about having a bicycle race again.,Language Structures,Language Structures,Notes 1.1,I dont remember doing it.,Ill try to remember/not to forget to do whatever you ask me (to) next time. Ill never forget seeing the Three Gorges. Some verbs may be followed by either an -ing participle or an infinitiv

4、e, but there is a difference in meaning. 1) The -ing participle after remember or forget refers to a past action or event that took place before the act of remembering or forgetting. Therefore, “I dont remember doing it” means “I dont remember whether Ive done it,Notes 1.2,(booked the tickets) or no

5、t”, whereas “Ill never forget seeing the Three Gorges” means “Ive seen the Three Gorges, and Ill never forget the beautiful scenery there”. 2) The infinitive after remember or forget refers to a future action or event that will take place after the act of remembering or forgetting. Therefore the thi

6、rd sentence above means “If you ask me to do anything in the future, Ill remember/not forget it and Ill do it”.,Notes 2,He stopped reading the newspaper and spoke to me. He stopped to speak to me.,With stop, the same principle applies as remember and forget with regard to the use of the -ing partici

7、ple and the infinitive. He stopped reading the newspaper and spoke to me means “He no longer read the newspaper and began to speak to me”. He stopped to speak to me means “He stopped doing what he was doing in order to speak to me”.,Notes 3,Heres an article for you to translate into English.: The it

8、alicized part of the above sentence is an infinitive phrase with the logical subject you used to qualify the noun article. The article is to be translated, but who is to do the translation? You. So you is the subject of the action to translate. The subject of an infinitive phrase is often introduced

9、 by the preposition for. Another example, Thats an excellent book for the English majors to read.,Notes 4,its easy enough for you to finish it in a week The italicized part of the sentence is an infinitive phrase of the same construction as the one in the last note. But the infinitive phrase here fu

10、nctions as the subject of the clause, i.e., for you to finish it in a week is easy enough. Another example, It is hard for us to teach well.,Notes 5.3,I find it easier to give a free talk: I find that to give a free talk is easier. In the I find it + adjective + infinitive construction, the infiniti

11、ve is the postponed object of the verb find, it is called the introductory it, which is used as the formal object, and easier is the object complement. Another example, We found it hard to believe his words.,Notes 6,Theyre talking about having a bicycle race again.: An -ing participle can be used as

12、 the object of a preposition, as is used in the above sentence. Another example, Nobody can talk John into entering for the sports meeting.,Some Open Questions for Discussion,Retelling the Conversation in a Story,Dialogue-main,Text,Questions on Specific Details,Language Point Practice,Reading Aloud,
