用法归纳由于to既可用作介词，也可用作不定式符号，所以许多学生在其后接动词时，弄不清到底该用动词原形，还是用动名词。本文根据新课标词汇(比考试大纲词汇范围稍广)对这类结构作了一次系统归纳，总结出介词to后接动名词的常考结构27个，并根据其结构特点，分为以下四类：
一、动词+介词to+动名词。这一种结构是考试中的大热考点，考生容易产生定势思维，想当然的认为“to”之后要跟"to do"不定式，所以，请特别重视下列含有“to"的动词短语。
1. admit to doing sth 承认做了某事
2. apply to doing sth 适用于做某事
3. object to doing sth 反对做某事
4. see to doing sth 负责做某事
5. stick to doing sth 坚持做某事
6. take to doing sth 喜欢上做某事，逐渐习惯做某事。
7. lead to通向
8. see to 负责
应用实例：
He admitted having stolen the money. 他承认偷了钱。
These methods apply to learning English.这些方法适用于英语学习。
He objected to being treated like a child. 他反对被当作小孩子看待。
Reporters should stick to investigating the facts. 记者应坚持调查事实。

二、动词+宾语+介词to+动名词

11. reduce sb to doing sth 使某人沦为做某事

三、be+形容词(含过去分词)+介词to+动名词

20. be used to doing sth 习惯于做某事
21. be opposed to doing sth 反对做某事
22. be reduced to doing sth使某人沦为做某事

八、某些动词+介词／副词（即短语动词）后面要求接动名词。

a)I could do nothing except agree．我除了同意，没有别的办法。
b)He did nothing but complain．他只是抱怨，什么也不做。
但是如果but用做连词，即如果它引导从句，它的后面就可直接跟完整的不定式或动名词：
1.Being idle sometimes is agreeable，but being idle all the time might become monotonous．
2.To be idle sometimes is agreeable，but to be idle all the time might become monotonous.（译文：有时清闲无事是令人惬意的，但总是闲呆着就可能变得单调乏味了。）
