(7)-ing分词的构成1. -ing分词的构成
-ing分词是由动词原形加词尾-ing构成。-ing分词同样有时态和语态的变化,通常有下表几种形式(以do为例):
主动形式
被动形式
一般式
doing
being done
完成式
having done
having been done
-ing分词的否定形式是由not 加-ing分词构成。如:
Not knowing his address,I could do nothing but stay at home and wait.
不知道他的地址,我只好在家里等着。
His not coming made all of us angry. 他没来使我们大家都很生气。
2. -ing分词的一般式和完成式:
-ing分词的一般式表示和谓语动词所表示的动作同时进行的动作;完成式表示在谓语动词所表示的动作之前发生的动作。如:
Being a student,he was interested in books. 作为一个学生,他对书本很感兴趣。
Not having studied his lessons very hard,he failed the examinations. 因为没有努力学习功课,他考试不及格。
3. -ing分词的被动式:
-ing分词的被动式表示它的逻辑主语是-ing分词动作的承受者。根据-ing分词动作发生的时间,-ing分词的被动式有一般被动式(being done)和完成被动式(having been done)。如:
The question being discussed is very important. 正在被讨论的问题很重要。
He never talked about his having been interviewed by the reporter. 他从来没谈起过他被记者采访的事情。
Having been criticized by the teacher,he gave up smoking. 被老师批评以后,他把烟戒了。
注意:在need,want,require,be worth等动词(短语)后,作宾语的-ing分词常用主动形式来表示被动含义。如:
Your shoes need cleaning. = Your shoes need to be cleaned. 你的鞋需要清洗一下了。
This book is well worth reading. 这本书很值得一看。
4. -ing分词的语法作用

②在There is no结构中,通常用-ing分词。如:
