②当中心词被the last,the next,the only,the very等词修饰时;
③在chance, opportunity, time,way,ability,plan等抽象名词后常用不定式(短语)作后置定语。

②用it作形式主语,动词-ing形式后置作真正的主语。常用于“It is fun/no good/no use /useless/ a waste of time doing...”等句型中;
③动词-ing形式的复合结构作主语。当动词-ing形式有自己的逻辑主语时,常在前面加上一个形容词性物主代词或名词所有格,构成动词-ing形式的复合结构。
Eg It is a waste of time arguing with him about this matter.
同他争论这件事是浪费时间。
