The only other thing I remember doing was trying to make my house look more lived in.
请问老师,是不是主语中有do的什么形式,表语动词就要用相应的形式表达。如主语中有doing,表语就要用-ing形式;主语中有do,表语就要用to do形式。谢谢回答。(上文中的doing不是谓语,那表语也要用trying吗?)
曹老师:
你的理解基本正确。主语the last thing带定语从句I remember doing,表语应为名词性的表语,在动名词和不定式之间选择。表语的动作在逻辑上是remember的宾语,与前面的doing对应。因此表语用动名词。英语中有平行原则,即平行的结构尽量采用相同的形式。
Seeing is believing。
To see is to believe.

The only other thing I remember doing was trying to make my house look move lived in.
解答如下:
(1)在由What分句、the thing+关系分句以及all+关系分句充当主语,而其中的主动词do为进行体形式时,其后的表语也用动名词。
What I’m doing is teaching him a lesson.
我在做的时间就是给他一个教训
All I’m doing is blazing a trail.
我所做的事情就是开辟道路/在树上作记号指路。
(2)当 the thing+关系分句以及all+关系分句充当主语,而其中的主动词do为一般体形式时,其后的的表语也可以是省略to 的不定式形式。
What you first do is (to省略) mix the egg with flour.
你先得把鸡蛋和面粉和好。
All I did was (to省略) touch the window, and it broke.
我只不过碰了一下窗户,玻璃就碎了。
