動名詞的結構接近普通名詞，可是往往帶有「動作、持續」的味道。

動名詞的一些變化：

1.複合字
EX1.Picking strawberries can be fun.
EX2.The Picking of strawberries requires patience.
EX3.Strawberry-picking is a strenuous job.

2.主詞不能省略的處理方式
EX. I don't like that John calls my girlfriend day after day.
      I don't like John's calling my girlfriend day after day.

3.動名詞的被動態
EX.That I was invited here is a great honor. (冗長)

分析:Being invited 當主詞,Being是動名詞,invited是過去分詞片語當形容詞片語用
