剥掉复杂句子外衣——介词+动名词

介词+动名词

上文中我们说到复杂介词+名词的情况，通过了解，我们已经知道介词的一些复杂形式，在遇到介词+名词时我们能够很快地识别并进行删减。但是不是介词后面只有名词形式才能进行删减呢？不是的。下面我们就来讲一讲介词+动名词的情况。

动名词其实也算是另一种形式的名词，但动名词后面一般会带宾语，连同动名词一起做名词成分。

比如：I learned a new language by reading a book.句子中reading a book 是动名词+ 宾语共同做by 这个介词后面的名词成分，所以在进行删节时不要只把by reading 去掉，而是将reading a book 一起删去。这个句子就变成了I learned a new language.

现在让我们做一下练习吧！

1.The little girl got happy after seeing the new toy.

2.He focused his attention on reading a novel during the long voyage.

3.I have difficulty in finishing my task so Jim helped me with it.

4.He won the first prize by beating the opponent on the field.

5.He went nowhere due to wandering in the street.
