instead of doing sth原句是：Instead of catching fish they catch old boots and rubbish.改为：They caught old boots and rubbish instead of catching fish.把动词换为过去式,主句提前,那用了过去式，意思表达是不是有点区别了呢？
问题描述：
instead of doing sth
原句是：Instead of catching fish they catch old boots and rubbish.
改为：
They caught old boots and rubbish instead of catching fish.
把动词换为过去式,主句提前,
那用了过去式，意思表达是不是有点区别了呢？
答
我认为好像是：
They caught old boots and rubbish instead of fish.
这个是共用一个宾语
They caught old boots and rubbish insteading of catching fish.
这个是共用一个主语，catch doing sth. 所以应该用insteading而不是instead
答
可以的,只不过时态不一样而已
