爱华网to 后接动名词用法归纳
我们先来复习一下to 的两种最常见用法：
to 可用作介词，后面接名词或代词，例如：
Bring that book to me. 把那本书给我。
I often go to school at 7:30. 我经常7：30去上学。
to 也是动词不定式的标志，后面直接用动词原形，例如：
I want to borrow your dictionary. 我想借用一下你的词典。
Our plan is to finish the task in two weeks.我们的计划是在两周内完成这项任务。
但是，to作介词的时候，后面要接动词的话，怎么办呢？按照英语语法，介词后面接动词的时候，全部用动名词，to 也不例外。例如：
They went on walking and never stopped talking.他们继续走，说个不停。
Shall we have a rest or get down to doing our work?我们休息呢还是开始干活？
这就产生了另外一个问题：to 后面使用动词的时候，究竟to 算作介词，后接动名词；还是to算作不定式标志，用动词原形呢？
