A 动名词的构成和现在分词一样:动词加上ing 构成,下面是各种时态和语态的构成:
| 主动语态 | 被动语态 |
一般现在时 | Doing | Being done |
现在完成时 | Having done | Having been done |
Seeing is believing.

注意:
当动名词作主语时,谓语动词一定要用单数。

Right: Helping the poor is a good deed.
False: Having missed the early train have made her very worried.
Right: Having missed the early train has made her very worried.
B 顾名思义,动名词有双重功能。它既有名词的特点---可作句子的主语,动词和介词的宾语;也有动词的特点---可
以有自己的宾语和状语。

C 动名词的否定式是动名词加not(一般现在时:not doing, not being done; 现在完成时:having not done, having
not been done).
D 通常情况下,动名词的复合式是在动名词的前面加上名词或代词的所有格。

二 不同的功能:
动名词可作主语,宾语,表语,定语
A 作主语:

注意:
在一些约定俗成的用法中,常用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语---动名词放在后面。
It is no use crying in the corner.
It is no good objecting this plan.
It is great fun sailing a boat.
B 作宾语:

He is deeply surprised at hearing the bad news.

注意:
经常接动名词作宾语的动词有:admit, avoid, consider, delay, deny, dislike, enjoy, evade, fancy, finish,
keep, mind, miss, postpone, give up, suggest, risk, resist.
C 作表语:

D 作定语:

区别:
1 There is a sleeping baby on the bed.
2 There is a sleeping bed in the room.
第一个句子中的sleeping 是现在分词,因为我们可以说:the baby is sleeping.
