start+to do还是doing
问题描述:
start+to do还是doing
答
一般情况下,两者可以互换.如:
He started learning /to learn English when he was only three.
他在只有三岁的时候就开始学习英语了.
但在下列三种情况下,只能用start to do sth.
(1)当主语是物而不是人时.
如:The ice started to melt.
冰开始融化.
(2)当start用于进行时态时.
如:She is starting to cook the dinner.
她开始做饭
(3)当start后面的非谓语动词指心理状态或精神活动(即表示想法、
意见等的词,如think,realize,wonder,understand等)时.
如:She started to wonder who had done it.
她开始想是谁做了这件事.
