会计考友

介词后面何时才能加动名词形式对于考生来说一直是个纠结的问题，小编为此特意总结了一些关于to后面何时才能加ing的一些例题，希望对广大考生有所帮助！　
EX. I look forward to talking to you on Friday afternoon.
　　例句：我期待下周五与你的谈话。
　　As the example above shows， sometimes it is correct to use “to” plus the –ing form of a verb.
/ u" @2 w$ ]& H; @　　从例句里我们可以看到，有时“to”也可以加动词-ing形式。
0 N4 [, b% ^$ }* u4 Q  B3 m/ d7 s　　Many non-native English speakers are reluctant to use –ing after “to”。 Maybe this is because you learnt at school that after “to” a verb should always be in the infinitive.
) P& w$ a" i0 z5 @" h, I4 @　　许多非英语国家的人都不喜欢在“to”后面加动词-ing形式。这可能是因为你们学校里的老师告诉你们“to”后面一般都跟动词不定式。
5 n/ r$ g6 b% g0 I! W) A　　This is only half true. “To” actually has two uses – EITHER as an infinitive marker (e.g. The Company wishes to purchase the shares)， OR as a preposition (e.g. He has gone to lunch)。
　　其实不然。事实上“to”有两种用法，一种是动词不定式的标志(比如：这家公司想要收购股份。)，另一种，用作介词。(比如：他去吃饭了。)
& r+ B9 p6 w9 ^' K0 E　　When “to” acts as a preposition it is usually followed by an –ing form (which in this case is a gerund) or a noun/noun phrase， as in these examples：
　　当“to”作介词时，后面通常会跟着动词-ing形式(动名词)或者名词/名词词组，比如：
　　EX1. There is no obstacle to registering the company.
