名詞所有格或物主代詞后加動名詞，即構成動名詞復合結構。在動名詞復合結構中，名詞屬格或物主代詞是動名詞的邏輯主語。這種復合結構在句中可用作以下成分：　　

一、用作主語。如：　　

His saying he is sorry alters the case. 他的道歉使情況改變了。　　

His behaving like that is strange. 他這樣的表現是很奇怪的。　　

His saying he is sorry alters the case. 他的道歉使情況改變了。　　

Your denying everything will get you nowhere. 你否認一切將是辦不到的。　　

Her arriving late delayed our departure. 她來晚了，延誤了我們的出發時間。　　

His knowing I had returned home unexpectedly is strange. 他竟知道我突然回家，真是件怪事。　　

動名詞復合結構用作主語時，其名詞或代詞一般要用所有格，但在口語中偶爾也有用名詞普通格和代詞賓語的情況。如(www.hz123456.com)：　　

My daughter staying up so late worried me. 我的女兒睡得很晚令我擔心。　　

Today being Saturday rather complicates matters. 今天是星期六反而把事情復雜化了。　　

二、用作賓語。如：　　

I like him /his playing the guitar.    我喜歡他彈吉它。　　

I must insist on him / his paying. 我一定堅持他付錢。　　

He disliked me / my working late. 他不喜歡我工作到很晚。　　

I suggested his sending it to Tagore. 我建議他把它寄給泰戈爾。　　

A severe cold prevented his attending the meeting. 重感冒使他未能來開會。
