（二）-ing形式：動詞的-ing形式也是一種非謂語動詞。-ing形式仍保留有動詞的特征，可以帶有其所需要的賓語或狀語而構成-ing短語。
1、-ing的形式：-ing有一般式和完成式。及物動詞的-ing還有主動語態和被動語態，而不及物動詞的-ing則沒有被動語態。現在以及物動詞make 和不及物動詞go為例，將其-ing各種形式列表如下：
動詞 語態
形式 及物動詞make 不及物動詞go
主動語態 被動語態 主動語態
一般式 making being made going
完成式 having made having been made having gone
2、-ing形式的基本用法。
（1）作主語：Seeing is believing.百聞不如一見。Talking is easier than doing. –ing作主語時，如果其結構較長，可用it作形式主語，而將作主語的-ing后置。如：It isn’t much good writing to them again. It’s no use waiting here.
（2）作表語：Her job is washing and cooking. My hobby is collecting stamps.
（3）作賓語：①作及物動詞的賓語。She likes drawing very much.；②作某些短語動詞的賓語。 Mary is thinking of going back to New York.；③ do+限定詞（my, some, any, the等）+ -ing，表示“做…事”之意，如：We often do our cleaning on Saturday afternoon. Will you do any shopping on Saturday this afternoon? ④作介詞的賓語：Her sister is good at learning physics.；⑤作形容詞worth, busy等的賓語：This book is well worth reading. –ing作賓語帶有賓語補足語時，要用it作為形式賓語，而將作賓語的-ing后置，如：We found it no good talking like that. Do you think it necessary trying again?
（4）作定語：The sleeping child is only five years old. Do you know the man standing at the gate? 注：-ing形式作定語用時，如果-ing只是一個單詞，就位于其修飾的名詞之前，如果是-ing短語，就位于其修飾的名詞之后，-ing作定語時，被-ing所修飾的名詞就是該-ing的邏輯主語。另外，-ing作定語用時，其動作和句子謂語動詞所表示的動作是同時進行的，如果不是同時進行的，就不能用-ing作定語，要使用定語從句，如：The girl who wrote a letter there yesterday can speak English very well.
（5）作賓語補足語：We can see steam rising from the wet clothes. 注：當-ing在復合賓語中作賓語補足語用時，句中賓語就是這個-ing的邏輯主語，可以帶有這種復合賓語的動詞有see, watch, hear, observe, feel, find, have, keep等。
（6）作狀語：①時間狀語：Seeing Tom, I couldn’t help thinking of his brother. 分詞在句中作時間狀語時，其前一般可加when或while，如：When crossing street, you must be careful. ②原因狀語：Being ill, he didn’t go to school yesterday. ③方式或伴隨狀語：Mary stood at the school gate waiting for Betty.
3、主動語態-ing完成式的基本用法。主動語態-ing完成式所表示的動作發生在句中謂語動詞所表示的動作之前，一般在句中作時間或原因狀語用。句中的主語是它的邏輯主語，并且是它所表示的動作的執行者，如：Having answered the letter, she went on to read an English novel.
4、被動語態-ing一般式的基本用法。被動語態-ing一般式所表示的動作是一個正在進行中的被動動作，而且這個被動動作也是和句中謂語所表示的動作同時發生的。它一般在句中作定語或狀語用。如：The truck being repaired there is ours.
5、被動語態-ing完成式的基本用法。被動語態-ing完成式所表示的動作發生在謂語動詞所表示的動作之前，在句中一般作狀語用。如：Having been shown the lab, we were taken to see the library.
6、-ing形式的復合結構。在-ing前加物主代詞或名詞所有格即構成-ing的復合結構。其中的物主代詞或名詞所有格為-ing的邏輯主語。這種結構在句中可作主語、賓語或表語，如：Your smoking and drinking too much will do harm to your health. 但在口語中，這種結構如作賓語用，其中的物主代詞常用人稱代詞的賓格，名詞的所有格常用名詞的普通格代替，如：She insisted on Peter’s (or Peter)going there first.
7、-ing形式與動詞不定式在句中作主語、表語、賓語時的區別。一般說來，表示一個比較抽象或泛指的動作時多用-ing形式。表示一個具體某一次的動作時，多用動詞不定式，如：Our job is making steel. She likes playing the piano, but she doesn't want to play it today.
8、-ing形式與動詞不定式在句中作定語的區別。-ing形式作定語用時，其動作一般與句中謂語動詞所表示的動詞同時發生，而動詞不定式作定語時，其動作一般發生在句中謂語動詞所表示的動作之后。如：The girl writing a letter there can speak English very well./I have three letters to write.
9、-ing形式與動詞不定式在作賓語補足語時的區別。（1）不定式作賓補時，其動作一般發生在謂語動詞所表示的動作之后，如：I have told them to come again tomorrow.（2）在see, watch, hear, feel等之后，如果用-ing形式作賓補，表示其動作正在進行中，而用不帶to的不定式作賓補時，不定式所表示的動作是一個動作的過程，如：I hear her singing in the room.我聽見她正在屋里唱歌。 I hear her sing in the room.我聽見她在屋里唱過歌。
10、-ing形式與動詞不定式在句中作狀語的區別。-ing形式在句作狀語表示時間、原因、方式或伴隨情況，而動詞不定式一般式在句中作狀語時，一般是作目的或結果狀語，如：Not receiving his letter, I wrote to him again./ I looked into the window to see what was going on inside.
