内容提要
-ING分词也是动词的非限定性形式，由动词原形＋-ING构成，在句中可以直接作主语，也可用形式主语it来代替，而把-ING分词放到后边；可以作表语；作宾语时对动词有一定的要求，有的动词只能跟接-ING分词，有的动词则既可以跟不定式也可以跟-ING分词，而且-ING分词还可作介词的宾语；在作宾语补足语时对动词也有一定的要求；作状语时，-ING分词要与其逻辑主语呼应，否则就要用独立结构；-ING分词作定语时相当于一个定语从句。跟动词不定式一样，-ING分词也有它的完成时态、被动语态和否定形式；最后我们还要了解-ING分词的逻辑主语问题。
I -ING分词的形式

四、 -ING结构作介词的宾语
几乎所有介词，不管是单个介词还是介词词组，不管它们是谓语动词的组成部分与否，都能用-ING分词的动名词作其宾语。所以，-ING结构作介词宾语的时候很多。-ING结构一般作介词短语的宾语，主要有以下搭配关系

六、 -ING结构作状语
-ING结构作状语表示主语在进行一动作的同时所进行的另一动作，它对谓语动词起修饰或陪衬的作用。这时要注意-ING与其逻辑主语在时态、意义上的统一
1. 表示时间和伴随 一般放在句首，有时可放在句中
Coming into the room, I found him sobbing. (=When I came into the room, I found him sobbing.) 在这里coming这一-ING分词动作发生时，紧接着(几乎是同时)发生了谓语动作，有“一……就”的意思。

如果-ING分词所表示的动作与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生，-ING分词前可以加when,while等连词，可放在句首或句末：When arriving home, he found the door opened. / He listened to the music radio while reading.

七、-ING分词作定语
-ING分词可以单独作定语，也可以构成合成词作定语，但在更多情况下是分词短语作定语，包括限定性和非限定性(用逗号与其他部分分开)，在意义上相当于一个定语从句(包括限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句)

八、-ING的完成时、被动语态与否定形式
1. 如果-ING分词表示的是一般性动作，(即不指明是现在、过去或将来)不表示动作的先后或与谓语所表示的动作同时或几乎同时发生，这时要用-ING的一般形式
35) Revolution means the productive forces.

［B］ to have liberated
［C］ liberating
［D］ having been liberated
36) It is a simple matter ［A］ to have found ［B］ the density of a gas ［C］ from its formula ［D］ .

［D］ Having been exhausted
38) with an accedent, he arrived at the station ten minutes late.
［A］ Having met
［B］ To have met
［C］ Meeting
［D］ Having been met
3. 当非限定性动词-ING的逻辑主语是-ING所表示的动作对象时要用-ING的被动形式，包括其一般形式“(not)being + -ED分词和完成形式“(not)having been +-ED分词”
39) Solids, liquids, and gases at rest all have a tendency to resist in motion.
［A］ setting
［B］ to set
［C］ being set
［D］ to be set

［B］ Not notifying
［C］ Not to notify
［D］ Not having been notified
42) I regret hard at school.
［A］ not to have worked
［B］ not having worked
［C］ not have worked
［D］ having not worked
九、-ING分词的逻辑主语
1. -ING分词除了具有动词的特点以外，它还有名词的特点，即可以加物主代词(如my,your,his等)和名词的属格(如Wang Qing's等)来表示其逻辑主语(这时-ING的逻辑主语和句子主语不一致)
43) I suggest on an excursion this Sunday.
［A］ we are going
［B］ to go
［C］ us going
［D］ our going
44) on a clear day, far from the city crowds, the mountains give him a sense of infinite peace.

［B］ While walking
［C］ Walking
［D］ When one is walking
45) Marta ［A］ being chosen ［B］ as the most outstanding ［C］ student on her campus made her parents ［D］ very happy.
2. 还有一种-ING分词的逻辑主语与句子主语不一致的情况，这时直接可用“-ING分词的主语＋-ING”来表示，这样的-ING分词短语可由介词引导。这种结构叫独立结构
46) A new technique , the yields as a whole increased by 20 percent.
［A］ to have been worked out
［B］ having worked out
［C］ working out
［D］ having been worked out
47) Walter offered us a lift when he was leaving the office, but our work , we declined the offer.
［A］ not being finished
［B］ not having finished
［C］ had not been finished
［D］ was not finished
3. 如果逻辑主语已和句子主语一致，那么其逻辑主语就可省略(在使用这种用法时要注意：-ING分词所表示的动作[ZZ(]一定[ZZ)]是主语所发出的，也就是说-ING分词的逻辑主语[ZZ(]一定[ZZ)]是主句的主语。试比较下列句子)
Getting into the room, I smelled a terrible smell.(getting 是 I 的动作)
Getting into the room, it give a terrible smell. (错误)
Walking through the forest, we found many strange animals. (walking 是 we 发出的)
Walking through the forest, a lot of animals are there. (错误)

［A］ the bicycle of John broke down
［B］ it happened that John’s bike broke down
［C］ the storm caught John
［D］ John had an accident on his bicycle
4. -ING分词的主语可以与做主语的名词或代词(即代词的主格)一致，放在-ING前边，与
-ING分词构成逻辑上的“主谓”关系。但是，-ING分词(还有-ED分词)短语作状语时，也可以有自己独立的逻辑上的“主语”。这种结构与主句不发生句法上的联系，叫做独立结构。在很多情况下它都相当于各种形式的状语，表示一种伴随的动作或情况
51) Weather , we’ll go sightseeing.
［A］ permitted
［B］ is permitted
［C］ permitting
［D］ is permitting
52) There are four factories in our institute, .

53) We went to ［A］ the World Park, Xiao Wang act ［B］ as guide for ［C］ he had been there several times ［D］.
十、习惯用法

十一、例题解析
1) B为正确答案。
2) D为正确答案。
3) C为正确答案。
4) B错。 改为to determine，关于动词不定式与-ING分词的区别请参见第七章“小结”。
5) D为正确答案。
6) B为正确答案。
7) A为正确答案。
8) B错。改为using。
9) A错。改为bringing。
10) C为正确答案。
11) B为正确答案。“start＋不定式”与“start＋-ING”有所不同，前者表示具体动作，后者表示一般性动作或状态。
12) C错。改为comparing。
13) B错。改为her going。
14) C错。改为to keeping。be committed to＋名词或-ING分词，意为“同意承担，答应(干某事或支持某事)。”
15) A错。 改为your leaving。
16) B为正确答案。
17) A为正确答案。
18) C错。改为to living。
19) C错。 改为giving。
20) A为正确答案。
21) C为正确答案。
22) A为正确答案。
23) C错。改成“growing”。本句中先后出现了两个动词，“grow”和“is”，这显然不合语法。将“grow”变为“growing”后便构成了-ING短语，修饰“trees”。
24) B为正确答案。stealing表示正在进行。
25) D错。改为asking。
26) D为正确答案。
27) B为正确答案。
28) A错。改成“Being a dancer”。
29) A为正确答案。
30) B为正确答案。
31) A为正确答案。
32) B为正确答案。本句空白处缺能起定语作用的词，用来修饰前面的名词paintings。
33) B为正确答案。本句空白后面的成分为-ING短语，相当于“which means…”。C 表面上正确，但英语中没有连接词连接的两个分句是不能成立的，但我们可以说“which means”，用“which”指代“Nebrathka”。但这样就变成非限定性定语从句了。
34) A为正确答案。本句相当于一个非限定性定语从句(which amounts to…)，amount(总计) -不及物动词，故没有-ED分词。
35) C为正确答案。
36) B错。 改为to find。
37) D为正确答案。
38) A为正确答案。
39) C为正确答案。
40) A错。Upon being questioned。
41) D为正确答案。
42) B为正确答案。

47) A为正确答案。
48) A为正确答案。
49) D为正确答案。
50) D为正确答案。
51) C为正确答案。
52) B为正确答案。
