to 전치사 뒤에 동명사를 쓰는 경우 관용 어구 30개 정리

 오늘의 수업 내용

to 전치사 뒤에 동명사를 쓰는 경우 관용 어구 30개 정리 

그리고 to 동사를 쓸지 아니면 to 동사 ing를 쓸지 연습해 보는 시간을 가져볼게요.

 

영어에서 “전치사 + 동명사(-ing)” 구조를 흔히 볼 수 있는데요. 특히 **"to + -ing"**를 사용하는 관용적 표현들이 꽤 많습니다.

 

 “to”가 전치사로 쓰이는 경우는 주의해야 하죠 — 왜냐하면 “to”는 **부정사(to + 동사원형)**와 혼동되기 쉽기 때문이에요.

 

그럼 과연 어떤 표현들이 주로 to + 동사 ing를 쓰는지 하나씩 알아보기로 해요.

 

 

 순위                표현                                      의미                                           예문
