34、可有比较形式，亦可被very等副词所修饰。如：He was very amusing. 他很有趣。Skiing is more exciting than skating. 滑雪比溜冰更刺激。2. 动词-ing形式作定语(1)动名词作定语表示所修饰名词的功能；被修饰的名词与动名词没有逻辑上的主谓关系；可用“名词+for+动名词”来表达；动名词通常只能位于所修饰的名词前。如：a swimming pool (=a pool for swimming) 游泳池a walking stick (=a stick for walking) 手杖(2)现在分词作定语表示性质、特征、状态或动作；被修饰的名
35、词与现在分词在逻辑上有主谓关系；可换成定语从句来表达；单个的现在分词作定语，常置于被修饰的名词的前面；现在分词短语作定语，须置于被修饰名词的后面。如：Nobody can stop the running horse (=the horse that is running). 没有人能阻止那匹奔马。(horse与running在逻辑上有主谓关系)I know the man standing there (=who is standing there.). 我认识站在那儿的那个人。(the man与standing there在逻辑上有主谓关系)3. 动词-ing形式用作宾语补足语。(1)动词
36、-ing形式用作宾语补足语，宾语与补足语有主动关系，表示“动作正在发生（即处于发生的过程中）”。如：She caught them stealing her apples. 她撞见他们偷她的苹果。(them与stealing有主动关系；在“撞见”时，正在偷) (2)试比较以下句子：I saw the boy climb the wall. 我看见小孩爬墙。(强调爬墙这件事)I saw the boy climbing the wall. 我看见小孩正在爬墙。(强调爬墙的情景) II.Practices.1.
