without 是介词，后面一定要加宾语, 动名词catching作 without 的宾语，without 后面的动作是主语来做的。

动名词也有动词的特性，可以有自己的宾语。

without 通常表示“缺乏、没有”；当它位于动名词前时，表示“不曾、不”I can’t repair the car without your help.They tried to leave the restaurant without paying.He went out without saying any words.3、But this does not worry me.★worryv. ①烦恼，担扰worry sb. 某人为……烦恼，担扰adj. 担心be worried about ……为……担心I was worried about my little daughter.4、Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish.instead of… 我原准备做……但是后来做了……（instead of 后面的词一定是没有做的）I went to school instead of staying at home. 我没呆在家里而是去上学了I bought books instead of buying dresses.without强调没有做某件事, instead of强调这件事没做成而做成了另外一件事副词instead“作为替代，反而”，单独使用时一般出现在句尾If you don’t want a holiday in England, why don’t you go to Australia instead?5、I am even less lucky.less是little的比较级，意为“不及，不如，更少”I spend less time on English than on French.less+原形A is less…thanB A不如B6、After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag.spend+时间+在某地在某地度过……时间after <conj.>+从句在……之后after <prep.>+名词/动词的ing形式……之后（从句主语必须是主句的主语时两种形式可互换）After I go to school, I learned a lot of knowledge. (用一般式表示一个事实, 不用“went to” ) After going to school, I learned a lot of knowledge.介词after的宾语的动名词having spent所表示的动作发生在谓语动词go 之前，所以动名词用完成形式。

with an empty bag 注意连读with sth. 有……的，持有……的，随身带着……(状语)Who’s the man with the beard?without sth. 没带……I always go home without angthing. 什么都没带回家7、'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.give up doing sth. = stop doing sth. 放弃做某事Give up smoking.8、I'm not really interested in fishing.be intersted in sth. / doing sth. 对……感兴趣I’m interested in collecting stamps.三、语法动名词动词+ing 作名词时称为动名词，它仍有动词的属性，可以接宾语，动名词可以代替名词做主语和宾语或介词宾语。

1、动名词作主语Watching television is my favourite pastime. 看电视是我最喜爱的业余爱好.2、动名词作宾语Do you mind turning on the TV?Betty enjoys listening to pop music.3、利用介词/副词+动名词可以把两个句子连成一个句子apologize for (not) doing sth. 为什么事情而道歉I must apologize. I interrupted you. 我得表示道歉. 我打断了你的说话(工作).I must apologize for interrupting you.由于打断了你的说话(工作), 我得表示道歉. （for interrupting强调interrupt这个动词）I must apologize for having interrupted you.（for having interrupted 强调interrupt这个动词先发生，强调时间 (having done)）以上两者为时间概念不同，意思相同congratulate (sb.) on doing sth. 因……祝贺（某人）He congratulated me. I won the competition. 他向我道贺. 我赢得了这次比赛.He congratulated me on winning the competition. 在我赢得这次比赛之际, 他向我祝贺.He congratulated me on having won the competition.thank you for listening/attending动名词用表示完成时的 having+过去分词结构往往强调动名词的动词发生在前面。

4、跟动名词的短语be keen on doing sth.（热忠于……）,be fond of,be interested in,enjoy doing sth.（喜欢做某事）， congratulations on doing sth. （祝贺……）be afraid of可以带动名词的介词有：before，after，without，instead of等I can’t watch TV without falling asleep. 我看电视时必定会睡着。
