　　1.liketodo“喜欢做某事”,指一次性动作.如Iliketoswiminthisrivernow.

　　likedoing“喜欢做某事”,指习惯性动作.如Ilikeswimming.

　　类似的还有：disliketodo/doing(“不喜欢做某事”),hatetodo/doing(“讨厌做某事”),

　　2.remembertodo“记得要去做某事”如Sherememberedtoseeherparentsthenextday.

　　○1当主语是物时.如Itbegantosnow.

　　○2当begin用进行时的时候.如Thetrainisbeginningtoleave.
