mind可以用做名词和动词。在各种考试中mind也是一个常考词。下面进行归纳。
1.mind作为名词指“头脑,大脑;思维方式,智慧,思考能力”。比如:

mind也可以指“注意力,心思”。比如:

2.mind作为动词指“介意”。比如:

3.考点
mind后面可跟动词的ing形式,其后通常用物主代词修饰。这在完形填空和选项题中常常出现。比如:
I don't mind his coming late if he doesn’t wake me up.只要不把我吵醒,他回来晚我不在乎。
Are you married, if you don't mind my asking? 如果你不介意,请问你结婚了吗?
在上面的句子中要用his,不是him,用my,而不是me。
另外,需要记住下面常用短语:
bear/keep in mind 记住。
have in mind记得;意欲,打算;到,考虑到。
make up one’s mind下定决心,打定主意。
never mind不用担心,别管;不要紧。
