failure; skinPresentation Grammar动词-ing形式作表语、定语和宾补动词-ing形式作表语、定语和宾补
一、动词-ing形式作表语
动名词作表语表示抽象的、一般的行为，现在分词作表语表示主语的特征、性质和状态。
我们最大的幸福是为人民服务。
Our greatest happiness is serving the people.（动名词）
我们的任务是建设社会主义。
Our task is building socialism. （动名词）我们昨晚看的电影十分动人。
The film we saw last night is quite moving. （现在分词）
他的话很鼓舞人。
His words are encouraging. （现在分词）常用来作表语的现在分词有astonishing, amusing, confusing, disappointing, boring, encouraging, inspiring, moving, tiring, interesting, surprising等。
全析提示：（1）动名词作表语和主语是等值关系，两者有时可以互换，句子意思不变；动名词后面可以接宾语、状语。
（2）现在分词作表语和主语不是对等关系，现在分词后面不能接宾语，但它前面可以有修饰性的副词，如very, rather等。二、动词-ing形式作定语
动名词作定语用来说明该名词的用途，不表示名词本身的动作；现在分词作定语与所修饰的名词具有逻辑上的主谓关系，即现在分词相当于所修饰名词的谓语。
我们必须改进工作方法。
We must improve our working method. （动名词）
他们将手术台架设在一座小庙里。
They set up an operating table in a small temple.（动名词） 中国是发展中国家。

2. 单个分词和分词短语都可作定语，单个分词一般作前置定语，分词短语则作后置定语，相当于一个定语从句。
如：the man visiting Japan=the man who is visiting Japan 访日的那个人。三、动词-ing形式作宾补
动名词不能作宾语补足语。现在分词作宾补表示的是正在发生的动作。例如：
我看见他正在上楼。
I saw him going upstairs.

We watched her crossing the street.

tired; boring B. tiring; bored
C. tired; bored D. tiring; boring

direct B. direction
C. directly D. directly when
