2. 동명사의 기능: 동사의 성질, 명사적 역할.
동사의 원형에 ~ing가 붙어서 명사의 구실을 하는 것이 동명사이다. 따라서,
동명사는 주어, 목적어, 보어 등이 될 수 있다. 한편, 동명사는 동사 본래의
특성도 가지고 있어서 완료형과 수동태를 만들 수 있고 부사, 목적어, 보어를
수반할 수도 있다.
1) 명사적 역할
① 주어자리.
* Seeing is believing.
(백 번 듣는 것보다는 한번 보는 것이 낫다.)
* Making much money is not the end aim of life.
* It is very pleasant walking in the country. (진주어)
② 명사보어자리. (주어 = 명사보어)
* My hobby is collecting stamps.
(나의 취미는 우표를 수집하는 일이다.)
* He is collecting stamps. (현재분사)
* It is throwing your money away.
(그것은 돈을 버리는 일이다. 즉, 쓸데없는 낭비다.)
③ 목적어자리.
a. 타동사의 목적어
* I like reading a biography.
(나는 전기를 읽는 것을 좋아한다.)
b. 전치사의 목적어
* I am fond of fishing.
(나는 낚시를 좋아한다.)
* I don't like playing baseball.
* I found it unpleasant walking in the rain.
* Thank you for your answering so promptly.
△동사 answering은 전치사 for의 목적어이며(명사적 성질), 그리고
so promptly에 의해 수식(동사적 성질)되고 있다. 또 your가 동명사
앞에 있다.
2) 동사적 특성
① 완료형을 만들 수 있다.
He denied having taken it out of the room.
(= He denied that he had taken it out of room.)
(그는 방에서 그것을 가지고 나간 일이 없다고 말했다.)
② 수동태를 취할 수 있다.
I don't like being asked questions.
(나는 질문 받는 일을 좋아하지 않는다.)
③ 부사, 목적어, 보어 등을 수반할 수 있다.
We don't like his coming with us. (부사구 수반)
(우리는 그가 우리와 함께 가는 것을 원치 않는다.)
She is proud of her son's being clever. (보어 수반)
3. 동명사와 현재분사의 구별
* a sleeping car = a car for sleeping. (침대차) : 동명사
a sleeping child = a child who is sleeping. : 현재분사
◇동명사로 쓰이면 목적이나 용도 ∼하기 위하여, 현재분사는 상태나 동
작으로 ∼하고 있는...
◇동사원형 + ing + 명사에서 목적(∼하기 위하여)으로 번역하여 문맥이
통하면 동명사이며 상태나 동작으로 통하면 현재분사이다.
4. 동명사의 의미상의 주어
* That she come here was surprising.
= For her to come here was surprising. (부정사구문)
= Her coming here was surprising. (동명사구문)
◇동명사의 의미상 주어가 명사일 땐 소유격이나 목적격 모두 가능.
의미상의 주어가 무생물이면 일방적으로 목적격. 동명사의 의미상의
주어가 일반인을 나타낼 땐 의미상의 주어를 생략.
* Studying English is no easy task. (의미상의 주어 생략 - 일반인)
* He insist that he should attend the party.
= He insist on (upon) attending the party. (his를 생략)
◇ insist는 주장하다의 뜻이므로 that∼ 에서는 반드시 should + 동사
원형을 쓰며 접속사 that은 생략, on이나 upon을 쓴 뒤 he는 본주어
와 같으므로 attending을 씀.
◇동명사 attending의 의미상 주어가 생략되었다는 것은 본주어와 같다.
* He insist that Tom should attend the party. (복문)
= He insist on (upon) Tom('s) attending the party. (단문)
→ that 생략, on 또는 upon을 쓴 뒤 that 다음의 주어가 본주어와 다르므로
Tom을 Tom's 또는 Tom 등으로 고친 뒤 조동사 should 생략.
5. 동명사의 시제
* 형태.
| 원형동사| 단순동명사 | 단순수동동명사 | 완료형동명사 | 완료형수동동명사 |
| be | being | 無 | having been | 無(자동사이므로) |

= He is proud of being a poet. (단문)
◇접속사 that을 생략하고 of를 쓸 것. that∼의 주어 he는 본 주어와
같으므로 생략.
◇미래동작을 의미하는 형용사, 동사, 명사 등의 다음에 오는 that절에
미래시제가 오고 본동사가 현재시제일지라도 단순동명사를 사용.
* There is no hope that of his succeeding.
→ There is no hope that he will succeed.
◇ remember, forget 등의 다음에는 완료형 동명사 대신 단순동명사를
사용할 것, remember 다음에 부정사가 오면 미래시제를 쓴다.
* I remember that I saw her.
= I remember having seen her. (×)
