用法歸納由于to既可用作介詞，也可用作不定式符號，所以許多學生在其后接動詞時，弄不清到底該用動詞原形，還是用動名詞。本文根據新課標詞匯(比考試大綱詞匯范圍稍廣)對這類結構作了一次系統歸納，總結出介詞to后接動名詞的常考結構27個，并根據其結構特點，分為以下四類：
一、動詞+介詞to+動名詞。這一種結構是考試中的大熱考點，考生容易產生定勢思維，想當然的認為“to”之后要跟"to do"不定式，所以，請特別重視下列含有“to"的動詞短語。
1. admit to doing sth 承認做了某事
2. apply to doing sth 適用于做某事
3. object to doing sth 反對做某事
4. see to doing sth 負責做某事
5. stick to doing sth 堅持做某事
6. take to doing sth 喜歡上做某事，逐漸習慣做某事。
7. lead to通向
8. see to 負責
