Last weekend, my classmates and I went camping.

上個週末我和同學去露營。

注意下列有兩個主詞並存的位置:

a. 主詞若有代名詞I及其他人時, 應以and連接, 並將其他人置於I之前, 以示尊重。

例: I and my father went fishing last weekend. (╳)

　→ My father and I went fishing last weekend.(○)

　(上個週末我和我爸爸釣魚去了。)

b. 但除I以外, he、she、they、you、we等代名詞與其他人共同作主詞時, 這些代名詞應置於第一個位置。

例: His father and he went swimming last Friday. (╳)

　→ He and his father went swimming last Friday. (○)

　(他和他爸爸上星期五游泳去了。)

　Mary and we sang songs at the party.

　→ We and Mary sang songs at the party.

　(我們和瑪麗在派對上高歌。)

c. 代名詞並存時, 注意下列次序:

例: He, you and I are good friends. (╳)

　→ You, he and I are good friends. (○)

　(你、我和他都是好朋友。)

　You, we and they are good friends. (╳)

　→ We, you and they are good friends. (○)

　(我們、你們和他們都是好朋友。)

...my classmates and I went camping.　

……我和同學去露營。

本句採用了"go + 現在分詞"的片語, 表示『從事某種短暫性的活動』之意。常用的此類片語如下:

go camping　　去露營

go hunting　　去打獵

go dancing　　去跳舞

go golfing　　去打高爾夫球

go shopping 　去購物

go swimming　　去游泳

go hiking　　去山中或鄉下地方健行

例: My best friend and I often go shopping together.

　(我經常和我的好友一起去購物。)

此處作主詞的camping是動名詞, 由原形動詞camp變化而成。

作主詞的詞類通常是名詞或代名詞。

例: The boy lives near my house.

           名詞

　(這男孩就住在我家附近。)

　He is a student.

 代名詞

　(他是學生。)

　動詞不能直接作主詞, 應將動詞變成動名詞方可作主詞。

　中文: 跟他唱歌很愉快。

　英文: Sing songs with him is fun. (╳)

　理由: Sing是原形動詞, 不可作主詞。

　改正: Singing songs with him is fun. (○)

　請再看下例:

　中文: 在河邊露營很愉快。

　英文: Camp by the river is fun. (╳)

　理由: Camp是原形動詞, 不可作主詞。

　改正: Camping by the river is fun. (○)
