무한정사와 동명사는 영어 문법에서 자주 사용되는 중요한 형태입니다. 무한정사는 ‘to’와 동사의 기본형으로 구성되며, 명사, 형용사, 부사의 기능을 할 수 있습니다. 반면, 동명사는 동사에 ‘-ing’를 더해 명사처럼 사용되며 특히 취미, 활동, 선호도를 나타낼 때 유용하게 사용됩니다. 이 두 가지 형태는 특정 동사, 전치사 또는 표현과 함께 쓰일 때 의미와 문법적 기능이 달라질 수 있어, 학습자들이 혼동하기 쉽습니다.
이 연습은 무한정사와 동명사의 올바른 사용법을 연습하기 위해 고안되었습니다. 각 문장에는 빈 칸이 하나 있으며, 학습자는 해당 문장이 요구하는 적절한 형태의 무한정사 또는 동명사 형태로 빈칸을 채워야 합니다. 각 문장마다 올바른 단어를 찾는 데 도움이 되는 단어 힌트가 제공되므로, 문맥을 잘 파악하여 정답을 찾는 연습을 해보세요.
