Grammar

动词-ing形式做主语

在语法上，动词的现在分词(present participle)或者动名词(gerund)都是动词加-ing构成。当-ing形式做主语 (subject) 时，我们称之为动名词。

以下两段引文来自google字典

gerund n. a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing.
e.g., asking in do you mind my asking you?.

present participle: n. the form of a verb, ending in -ing in English, which is used in
1) forming continuous tenses, e.g. I’m thinking,
2) alone in nonfinite clauses, e.g. in sitting here, I haven’t a care in the world,
3) as a noun, e.g. in good thinking, and
4) as an adjective, e.g. in running water.

动词使用了-ing形式后，就变成了名词的含义，表示对应的动作或者事情，例如动词talk —> talking（表示说话这个动作），动词swim—> swimming (表示游泳这件事)，动词sleep—>sleeping（表示睡觉这个动作）；还可以是动词短语变成-ing形式，形成表示动作的名词短语，例如learn English —> learning English，play the piano —> playing the piano等。

无论是动名词还是动名词短语做主语，后面的谓语一律用单数。

Swimming is a great way to stay in shape.
Playing the piano is the passion of my life.
弹钢琴是我生活中最爱的事情。
Shopping online is very convenient because there are many choices at a good price.
