I、Grammar explanation

       V-ing形式又分为动名词及现在分词。

       1、动名词的句法功能：

       ①、作主语：

       Reading aloud is very helpful. 朗读是很有好处的。

       Collecting stamps is interesting. 集邮很有趣。

       当动名词短语作主语时常用it作形式主语。

       It’s no use quarrelling.争吵是没用的。

       ②、作表语：

       In the ant city, the queen’s job is laying eggs. 在蚂蚁王国，蚁后的工作是产卵。

       ③、作宾语：

       They haven’t finished building the dam. 他们还没有建好大坝。

       We have to prevent the air from being polluted.   我们必须阻止空气被污染。

       注意动名词既可作动词宾语也可作介词宾语，如上面两个例句。此外，动名词作宾语时，若跟有宾语补足语，则常用形式宾语it，例如：

       We found it no good making fun of others. 我们发现取笑他人不好。

       ★要记住如下动词及短语只跟动名词作宾语：resist(抵抗)，mind(介意)，suggest(建议)，delay(推迟)，keep(on) (保持)，look forward to (期昐)，enjoy(喜欢)，include(包括)，appreciate(欣赏)，imagine(想象)，practise(实践)，finish(完成)，consider(考虑)，can’t help(不禁)，miss(错过)     以上动词及短语可以通过口诀进行记忆：

              抗议（意）推辞（迟）昐喜报，心（欣）想事（实）成考不错。

       ④、作定语：

       He can’t walk without a walking-stick. 他没有拐杖不能走路。

       Is there a swimming pool in your school? 你们学校有游泳池吗？

       ⑤、作同位语：

       The cave, his hiding-place is secret. 那个山洞，他藏身的地方很秘密。

       His habit, listening to the news on the radio remains unchanged．

       他收听收音机新闻节目的习惯仍未改变。

       2、现在分词的句法功能：

       ①、作定语：现在分词作定语，当分词单独做定语时，放在所修饰的名词前；如果是分词短语做定语放在名词后。

       In the following years he worked even harder. 在后来的几年中，他学习更努力了。

       The man speaking to the teacher is our monitor’s father.正与老师谈话的那个人是我们班长的父亲。

       现在分词作定语相当于一个定语从句的句法功能，如：in the following years也可用in the years that followed; the man speaking to the teacher可改为the man who is speaking to the teacher.

       ②、现在分词作表语：

       The film being shown in the cinema is exciting. 正在这家上演的电影很棒。

       The present situation is inspiring. 当前的形势鼓舞人心。

       be + doing既可能表示现在进行时，也可能是现在分词做表语，它们的区别在于be + doing表示进行的动作是进行时，而表示特征时是系动词be与现在分词构成系表结构。

       ③、作宾语补足语：如下动词后可跟现在分词作宾语补足语：see, let, make, listen, hear, have, watch, notice, feel, look at等。例如：

       Can you hear her singing the song in the next room? 你能听见她在隔壁唱歌吗？

       以上动词同样也可以通过口诀进行记忆：

    三让（make, let, have），三看(see, look at, watch)，两听(listen to, hear)，注意感觉(notice, feel)

       ④、现在分词作状语：

       a.作时间状语：(While) Working in the factory, he was an advanced worker.

                                   在工厂工作时，他是一名先进工人。

       b.作原因状语：

       Being a League member, he is always helping others. 由于是共青团员，他经常帮助他人。

       c.作方式状语，表示伴随：

       He stayed at home, cleaning and washing. 他呆在家里，又擦又洗。

       d.作条件状语：

       (If) Playing all day, you will waste your valuable time.

       要是整天玩，你就会浪费宝贵的时间。

       e.作结果状语：

       He dropped the glass, breaking it into pieces. 他把杯子掉了，结果摔得粉碎。

       f.作目的状语：

       He went swimming the other day. 几天前他去游泳了。

       g.作让步状语：

       Though raining heavily, it cleared up very soon. 虽然雨下得很大，但不久天就晴了。

       h.与逻辑主语构成独立主格：

       I waiting for the bus, a bird fell on my head．我等汽车时，一只鸟落到我头上。

       All the tickets having been sold out, they went away disappointedly.

       所有的票已经卖光了，他们失望地离开了。

       Time permitting, we’ll do another two exercises. 如果时间允许，我们将做另两个练习。

       有时也可用with (without) +名词（代词宾格）+分词形式。

       With the lights burning, he fell asleep. 他点着灯睡着了。

       i.作独立成分：

       Judging from(by) his appearance, he must be an actor. 从外表看，他一定是个演员。

       Generally speaking, girls are more careful. 一般说来，女孩子更细心。
