而且通常：
意思没有明显区别。

28. 连续两个 -ing 时通常避免 -ing + -ing
图片特别提醒：
Normally we do not use -ing after -ing.
例如：

通常不说：
△ It’s starting raining.
因为：
starting
本身已经是 -ing，
后面通常更自然地使用：
to rain
29. start 的对比

It started raining.
也可以：
It started to rain.
但是当 start 自己已经变成进行时：
It’s starting to rain.
通常不用：
△ It’s starting raining.

Unit 56 最核心总结
这一单元最重要的是理解：
-ing 和 to ... 有时不仅仅是形式不同，而是会改变句子的意思。
最重要的三组：
| -ing | to ... |
|---|---|
| remember doing = 记得做过 | remember to do = 记得要做 |
| regret doing = 后悔做过 | regret to say = 很遗憾要说 |
| go on doing = 继续做同一件事 | go on to do = 接下来做另一件事 |
另外：
begin / start / continue / intend / bother
通常既可以：
+ -ing
也可以：
+ to ...
而意思基本不变。
例如：
It started raining.
=
It started to rain.
但是如果前面的动词本身已经是 -ing：
It’s starting to rain.
通常避免：
△ It’s starting raining.
