GrammarDevelopment動(dòng)名詞是由動(dòng)詞原形+ing構(gòu)成，在句中可作主語、表語、賓語和定語。1)動(dòng)名詞作主語：

Talkinglikethatisnotpolite.

那樣談話不禮貌。

Learningfromothersisimportant.

向別人學(xué)習(xí)很重要。

2)動(dòng)名詞作表語

Thenurse’sjobislookingafterthepatients.

護(hù)士的工作是護(hù)理病人。

Seeingisbelieving.眼見為實(shí)。

3)動(dòng)名詞作賓語

請(qǐng)不要在家里抽煙。

Ilikereadingintheforest.

4）動(dòng)名詞作定語

Hesleptinthesleepingbag.他在睡袋里睡覺。GerundBACKLanguageinUse

GrammarDevelopment現(xiàn)在分詞也是由動(dòng)詞+ing構(gòu)成，它在句中起形容詞或副詞的作用，可以作定語、狀語和表語。1）分詞作定語

Chinaisadevelopingcountry.中國是一個(gè)發(fā)展中國家

GrammarDevelopment一般來說，作為定語修飾名詞時(shí)，動(dòng)名詞用于說明它所修飾的名詞的作用和用途；現(xiàn)在分詞則表示它所修飾的名詞正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作，與該名詞在邏輯上存在主謂關(guān)系，相當(dāng)于一個(gè)定語從句，如：aswimminggirl

游泳的女孩（分詞）aswimmingpool

游泳的池子（動(dòng)名詞）又如：

Thereisaswimmingpoolinourschool.(動(dòng)名詞，表示用途、作用)=Thereisapoolforswimminginourschool.

Ifoundasleepingbabyonthebed.(現(xiàn)在分詞，表示正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作)=Ifoundababywhoissleepingonthebed.GerundBACKPresentparticiplesvs.LanguageinUse
