动词ing形式做定语动词ing形式既包括动名词又包括现在分词,在英语中使用极其广泛,同时也是高考中的重要考点,因此要求每位高中学生对其都应清楚了解并正确运用。下面就动词的-ing形式在句中做定语总结如下:动词的-ing形式做定语在句中通常有两个位置,如果是单个的动词的-ing形式做定语,常放在被修饰词前做前置定语;如果是动词的-ing形式的短语做定语,常放在被修饰词后做后置定语。如:1.Heisanattackingplayer.他是一个攻击型的运动员。2.Heaskedanembarrassingquestion.他提了一个令人难堪的问题。3.Alittlechildlearningtowalkoftenfalls.学走路的小孩常常跌跤。4.Doyouknowthenumberofpeoplecomingtotheparty?你知道来参加晚会的人数吗?注意:当-ing形式做后置定语时,可以相当于相应的定语从句。如:1.Ayoungmanwritingnovelscametospeaktousyesterday.→Ayoungmanwhowritesnovelscametospeaktousyesterday.一位写小说的青年昨天来向我们作报告。2.Thegirlsittingnexttomewasmycousin.→Thegirlwhowassittingnexttomewasmycousin.坐在我旁边的姑娘是我表妹。-ing形式做定语通常从以下三方面考查,即:1)说明被修饰词的性质,特征或用途。如:1.Theysetupanoperatingtableinasmalltemple.他们将手术台架设在一座小庙里。2.Hemaybeinthereadingroom,forallIknow.他说不定在阅览室里。3.Ladiesandgentlemen,pleasegoandwaitinthemeetingroom.女士们先生们,请去会议室等待。2)与被修饰词为主动关系且表示正在进行的动作。如:1.Therewereabout200childrenstudyingintheartschool.有大约二百个孩子在这所艺术学校学习。2.WhoisthewomantalkingtoourEnglishteacher?正在和我们英语老师谈话的那位妇女是谁?3)有些-ing形式已经转化成形容词,常做定语用来修饰物,表示“令人……”。常用的此类词有:exciting,amusing,amazing,astonishing,shocking,puzzling,confusing,disappointing,discouraging,pleasing,striking,boring,tiring,touching,moving,interesting,satisfying,terrifying,frightening等。如:1.Thatmusthavebeenaterrifyingexperience.那准时一段可怕的经历。2.Theexperimentwasanamazingsuccess.那项试验是一个惊人的成功。3.Thereisapagemissingfromthisbook.这本书缺了一页。除了-ing形式能做定语外,如果-ing形式与被修饰词是被动关系,就用它的被动式,即beingdone.beingdoing通常表示正在被做,常做后置定语。如:1.Thetallbuildingbeingbuiltnowisournewschool.正在被建的高楼是我们的新学校。2.Thequestionbeingdiscussedwaspresentedbytheheadmaster.正在被讨论的问题是被校长提出的。■-ing形式做定语专练1.Theladysaidshewouldbuyagiftforherdaughterwiththe_____.A.20dollarsremainedB.20dollarstoremainC.remained20dollarsD.remaining20dollars.2.Thewildflowerslookedlikeasoftorangeblanket______thedesert.A.coveringB.coveredC.coverD.tocover3.Iwastoldthattherewereabout50foreignstudents____Chineseintheschool,most_____werefromGermany.A.study;ofwhomB.study;ofthemC.studying;ofthemD.studying;ofwhom4.Thequestion______atpresenthassomethingimportanttodowithourdailylife.A.tobediscussingB.todiscussC.beendiscussedD.beingdiscussed5.Chinaisa_____country______tothethirdworld.A.developed;belongsB.developing;belongingC.developing;belongsD.developed;belonged6.---Whoistheman______totheteacher?---Amodelworker_____ourschoolA.talks,visitsB.istalking;isvisitingC.talking;visitingD.talking;visited7.Howmanyofus________,say,ameetingthathasnothingtodowithuswillbeinterestedinthediscussion?A.attendB.attendingC.toattendD.haveattended8.Theflowers_____sweetinthebotanicgardenattractthevisitorstothebeautyofnature.A.tosmellB.smellingC.smeltD.tobesmelt答案:DADDBCBB
