not + -ing
What worried the child most was ____ to visit his mother in the hospital. A. his not allowing B. his not being allowed C. his being not allowed D. having not been allowed(上海高考,98-8) 这道题把我弄糊涂了。请分析。
这道题的难点在于:除了考虑动名词的主动和被动意义之外,还要考虑否定副词 not 的位置。应牢记:否定副词应放在动名词之前,即 not + -ing 或 his not + -ing。看了这个解释之后,你一定会毫不犹豫地选 B。
