[语法入门]
文中加黑词都是动词-ing形式,其中①③④在句中作定语,②⑤⑥⑦⑧在句中作表语。
一、动词-ing形式作定语
动词-ing形式包括动名词和现在分词,这两种情况用作定语时,其功能和含义有所不同。
[先感知]
①(2024·新高考Ⅰ卷)At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station.
②(2024·新高考Ⅱ卷)Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time.
③I'm glad to receive your letter asking me about my high school life.
④This is an amazing achievement.
⑤The house being built here belongs to John.
[会发现]
(1)waiting是动名词作定语,说明所修饰名词hall的用途。
(2)growing是现在分词作定语,表示“正在增长的”。
(3)asking me about my high school life是现在分词短语作后置定语,相当于定语从句which_asks_me_about_my_high_school_life。
(4)amazing是现在分词作定语,表示“令人吃惊的”。
(5)being built是动词-ing形式的被动式。
[明规则]
1.动词-ing形式包括现在分词和动名词。现在分词作定语时,和被修饰词之间为逻辑上的主动关系,表示所修饰词正在进行的动作;动名词作定语时表示被修饰词的某种性能或用途,相当于for引导的介词短语。
2.单个现在分词作定语,常放在被修饰词之前作前置定语;现在分词短语作定语,常放在被修饰词之后作后置定语,相当于一个定语从句。
3.有些动词-ing形式已转化成形容词,表示“令人……的”。
4.如果分词与被修饰词之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且表示正在进行的动作,应用动词-ing形式的被动式:being done。
[对点练]
(1)用所给词的适当形式填空
①(2024·新高考Ⅱ卷)Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting (affect) the entire world, it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots.

(2)一句多译

⑥The old man playing folk music once went through a hard time.
⑦The_old_man_who_is_playing_folk_music_once_went_through_a_hard_time.
二、动词-ing形式作表语
[先感知]
①The argument seems very convincing.
②It seems that the plot isn't amusing enough to attract the audience.
③What pleases him most is swimming in the sea in summer.
=Swimming in the sea in summer is what pleases him most.
[会发现]
(1)convincing, amusing是现在分词作表语,说明主语的特征。
(2)swimming in the sea in summer是动名词短语作表语,此时主语和表语可以互换。
[明规则]
作表语的现在分词和动名词在具体用法上也各有不同。
1.现在分词作表语,往往具有形容词的性质,说明主语的性质、特征等。作表语的现在分词,许多是由能够表示人的某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有:moving, interesting, encouraging, exciting, inspiring, astonishing, surprising, puzzling, amusing, boring等。
This month's sales figure is quite encouraging.
这个月的销售额非常鼓舞人心。
2.动名词作表语多表示抽象性的或习惯性的动作,一般说明主语的内容。表语和主语可以互换。
Her hobby is playing the violin.
=Playing the violin is her hobby.
拉小提琴是她的爱好。
[名师点津]
(1)动词-ing形式有时还可以放在seem, appear, prove等系动词后作表语。
(2024·新高考Ⅰ卷)When I got back home, suddenly riding my bike didn't seem quite as appealing.
当我回到家后,突然骑自行车似乎不那么吸引人了。
(2)动词-ing形式在表示动作时与be动词一起构成进行时态,此时不再作表语。
