在Before引導的時間狀語從句中，return的邏輯主語和主句的主語he是保持一致的，所以這個時間狀語是有介詞Before和動名詞搭配而成，相當于Before引導的時間狀語從句。
如果運用動名詞形式，動名詞的邏輯主語必須是主句的主語
After gettting home,he had a good rest.
Before having dinner,he finished all his homework.

【Special difficulties】

A.英語中的許多動詞不能以人作為賓語，只能代某物或某事，如果需要說明是某人就要用介詞to
He told a story to me.＝》He told me a story .
兩類詞匯：tell可以和雙賓語搭配（指物的直接賓語；指人的間接賓語）
          explain,say只能代一個（直接）賓語，在間接賓語前要介詞to
She speaks English to her husband and Swedish to her children.
He admitted his guilt to the police.
Did you suggest this idea to him?
當直接賓語比較長或者是個從句時，通常放在間接賓語之后，但say除外。
I explained to him the impossibility of granting his request.
He comfessed to me that he had fallen asleep during the meeting.

B.“Worth"后面只能跟名詞或動名詞
His suggestion is worth considering.
