4、定语：动名词作定语，放于被修饰的名词前，表示该的名词的功能，并不表示动作。

　　　 e.g. a sleeping bag = a bag for sleeping　 / 　 an operating table = a table for operating

　　 区别：现在分词作定语，表示被修饰的名词的一个动作。

　　　 e.g. a sleeping boy = a boy who is sleeping　 /　 the running car = the car that is running

　另：1) 动名词的复合结构(one’s doing)：表示动名词动作的发出者，在句中可作主语和宾语。动名词的复合结构作宾语时，可以用宾格代替所有格。

　 e.g. We like Tom’s (Tom) singing the English song.

　　　　 The little boy’s crying drew our attention.

　　 2) 有些动词后面既可跟动词不定式，又可跟动名词作宾语，注意它们的不同意思。

[各个击破]

3、宾语：动名词作宾语，表示一种习惯、爱好。

　　　　 He likes smoking while I like drinking.

　　 注意：动词不定式作宾语，表示一个具体的动作，不表示习惯。

　　　　 I like smoking, but I don’t like to smoke today, for I’ve got a cold.

　　 有些动词后面不用不定式作宾语，而只用动名词作宾语，请记住以下口诀：memepscarfi: 音译成：妹妹不吃咖啡。这里每个字母代表一个或几个单词：m-miss e-enjoy ; m-mind ;e-escape; p- practise; s- suggest / stand; c- consider / complete; a-admit / allow /advise / appreciate / avoid; r- risk; f- finish ; i- imagine，常用的词都列在里面了。

　　　 I highly appreciate your helping the old lady.

动名词还作介词宾语。 I don’t feel like going to the station to meet the guests.

2、表语：动名词作表语是对句子主语的一种说明，主语和动名词可以交换位置，句子的意思不变。这有别于进行时：进行时句中用的是现在分词，表示主语的一个正在进行的动作，主语与现在分词不能交换位置。

　　　 　　　What he likes most is playing football. = Playing football is what he likes most.

　　　 　　 He is playing football with his friends.

[要点点拨]动名词是由动词后+ing的形式构成的，与动词的现在分词同形。它保留了动

词的特征，即：它可以带自己的宾语和状语，又具有名词的特征。

1、主语： Studying English well is no easy job.

　　 注意：1)在下面一些结构中，常用it作形式主语，将用作真实主语的动名词放于句末。

　　　　　 It is no use / no good / useless / nice / good / fun / interesting ….+ doing sth.

　　　　 It’s good hearing Chinese, my mother tongue, spoken here.

　　　 　2)动词不定式作主语和动名词作主语的区别：动词不定式作主语表示一个具体的动作，而动名词作主语则表示一个抽象的、一般的概念。

　　　　 Reading English in the morning is of great use for students.

　　　 To read this English book will take much time.
