外研版高一英语必修第二册(2019版)_Unit5_Using_language_知识点梳理
Unit 5 On the roadPeriod 2 Using language 知识点梳理单元语法精讲精练－-ing形式作定语I.语法感知感知以下课文原句，完成方框下的小题1．以上句子中，句2,4和句5中为单个的现在分词放于被修饰名词的前面作定语，被称为前置定语；句1,3和句6中为现在分词短语放于被修饰名词的后面作定语，被称为后置定语。
2．现在分词短语作后置定语时，其作用相当于一个定语从句。
II.语法精析动词的-ing形式既包括动名词又包括现在分词，在英语中使用极其广泛，同时也是高考中的重要考点。
下面就动词的-ing形式在句中作定语总结如下：动词的-ing形式作定语在句中通常有两个位置，如果是单个的动词的-ing形式作定语，常放在被修饰词前作前置定语；如果是动词的-ing形式的短语作定语，常放在被修饰词后作后置定语。
如：1．He is an attacking player.他是一个攻击型的运动员。
2．He asked an embarrassing question.他提了一个令人难堪的问题。
3．A little child learning to walk often falls.学走路的小孩常常跌跤。
4．Do you know the number of people coming to the party？你知道来参加晚会的人数吗？名师点津：当v.-ing形式作后置定语时，可以相当于相应的定语从句。
如：1．A young man writing novels came to speak to us yesterday.→A young man who writes novels came to speak to us yesterday.一位写小说的青年昨天来向我们作报告。
2．The girl sitting next to me was my cousin.→The girl who was sitting next to me was my cousin.坐在我旁边的姑娘是我表妹。
