| 释义 | Contents overview Infinitives, -ing forms and Past Participles introduction Section 8 Infinitives, -ing forms and Past Participles introductionThis Section, and Sections 9–10, deal with verb forms like (to) write (infinitive), speaking (-ing form) and seen (past participle). These forms do not themselves have any time reference (unlike for example writes or spoke), and grammarians call them 'non-finite'. However, they can be used together with auxiliary verbs to form tenses: e.g. will write, is speaking, has seen (15). They also have various other uses which are explained in Sections 8–10.-ing forms have two grammatical names. They are often called 'gerunds' when they are used in similar ways to nouns, as subjects or objects. Gerunds may correspond to infinitives in some other languages.Smoking is dangerous.I enjoy skiing.They are called 'present participles' when they are used more like verbs or adjectives:She ran out laughing.faster than a speeding bulletThe names 'present participle' and 'past participle' are misleading, because these forms do not have any particular time reference.The dividing line between participles and adjectives is not always clear, 96.All of these verb forms can begin clauses (Section 10).I'd like to look at those papers again.
