不定式，动名词，现在分词，过去分词作表语的区别
不定式、动名词、现在分词和过去分词都可用作表语，但它们所表示的含义却各不相同 一、什么是表语。在形式上，位于系动词后的就是表语。从含义上讲，表语是回答主语“是什么”或“怎么样”的语法成分。如：
1. Albert Einstein was a famous professor of physics.
阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦是一位有名的物理学家。
2. The problem remains unsolved.
问题仍未解决。
二、不定式、动名词与分词作表语的区别。不定式和动名词作表语相当于一个名词作表语，含义是回答主语“是什么”；分词作表语相当于形容词作表语，含义是回答主语“怎么样”。如：
1. Our plan is to keep the affair secret.
我们的计划是让这件事成为秘密。（主语和表语是相等的）
2.Their job is making wheelchairs for disabled people.
他们的工作是为残疾人制造轮椅。（主语和表语是相等的）
3.The music they are playing sounds exciting. 他们演奏的音乐听起来令人激动。（主语并不等于表语）
4.This beautiful village remains unknown to the rest of the world.
这个美丽的村庄仍未外界所知。（主语和表语是不相等的）
三 、不定式和动名词作表语的区别。不定式和动名词作表语虽都是用于回答主语“是什么”的，但二者仍有一些区别。不定式作表语强调的是一次性、具体的、将要发生的动作；动名词作表语强调的是一般性、抽象的、经常发生的动作。如：
1. His job is to paint the walls.
他的工作是粉刷这些墙。（一次性的，具体的，目前要做的事情，并不是他日常的工作）
2.His job is painting walls.
他的工作是粉刷墙。（这是他日常的工作）
四、现在分词和过去分词作表语的区别。现在分词和过去分词作表语都是用于回答主语“怎么样”的。现在分词说明主语的特征，过去分词说明主语的状态。如：
1. This dog is frightening.
1
这条狗让人害怕。（说明狗的特征）
2.This dog is frightened.
这条狗有些害怕。（说明狗的状态）
3.Climbing is tiring and we are completely tired after a day's climbing.
爬山是累人的，爬了一天的山我们都全累坏了。（tiring说明climbing的特征，tired说明我们的状态）
五、不定式作表语和不定式表示将来时的区别。不定式作表语用于说明主语“是什么”，和主语之间是可以划等号的，不定式用来表示将来时态时，表示主语即将要执行的动作，和主语之间是不能划等号的。如：
1. What he wanted to suggest is to cut down the price and increase the sales. 他想建议的是降价促销。
2. My American teacher is to leave China soon.
我的美国老师即将离开中国。
六、-ing动词作表语和-ing动词用于进行时的区别。动名词作表语说明主语“是什么”，现在分词 作表语说明主语是特征。-ing动词用于正在进行时时，说明主语正在执行的动作。如：
1. Her work is taking care of the children.
她的工作是照顾小孩。（说明主语“是什么”） 2.Her work is interesting, and she enjoys taking care of the children.
她的工作很有意思，她喜欢照顾小孩。（说明她工作的特征是有意思的）
3.She is taking care of the children.
她在照料小孩。（说明她正在执行的动作）
七、过去分词作表语和过去分词用于被动语态的区别。过去分词作表语说明主语所处的状态，过去分词用于被动语态说明主语所承受的动作。如：
1. The cup is broken.
杯子碎了。（说明杯子是状态）
2.The cup was broken by Peter.
杯子是被彼得打坏的。（说明杯子承受的动作—被打坏了）
3.The painting remains unfinished.
画仍未完成。（说明画的状态）
4.The painting was finished by his apprentice.
这幅画是由他的徒弟完成的。

第二篇：动名词与现在分词的用法区别
嘉兴英语教学网 收集整理 欢迎使用
动名词与现在分词用法的区别
动词的-ing形式按功能可分为动名词和现在分词。动词的-ing形式何时为动名词，何时为现在分词。首先，我们要从概念上区分。动词的-ing形式在起名词作用时，称为动名词；用作形容词或副词时，称为现在分词。其次，我们要从用法方面区分动词的-ing形式是动名词还是现在分词。
一、动词的-ing形式用作主语时为动名词，现在分词不可以用作主语。
1．动名词用作主语.
Reading French is easier than speaking it. 阅读法文比讲法语容易。
Talking to him is talking to a wall. 和他说话等于对牛弹琴。
Smoking can cause cancer. 吸烟会致癌。
Growing roses is her hobby. 种玫瑰是她的爱好。
2．有时it作形式主语，把动名词主语放在句子后面
It’s nice seeing you again. 再次见到你太好了。
It was tiring driving from morning till night. 从早到晚开车很累人。
It’s a wonder meeting you here. 在这里碰到你真是奇迹。
It was a waste of time reading that book. 看那本书是浪费时间。
3. “There is + no”后可以用动名词作主语
There was no knowing what he could do. 他能做什么很难说。
There was no arguing with her. 没法和她争论。
二、动词的-ing形式用作宾语时为动名词，现在分词不可以用作宾语。
1．有许多动词可接动名词作宾语
I suggested bringing the meeting to an end. 我建议结束会议。
So you prefer living abroad? 这样说你更愿意住在国外？
He kept complaining. 他不停地抱怨。
I finished reading the book last night. 这书我昨晚看完了。
2．有许多带介词的动词固定搭配接动名词作宾语
He has given up playing football. 他现在不踢足球了。
Prices keep on increasing. 价格不断上涨。
三、当动词的-ing形式用作状语时为现在分词，动名词不可以用作状语。
现在分词及其短语可以用作状语，表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、方式或伴随情况等。其动作可能发生在谓语之前或之后，也可能与谓语动词的动作同时发生。

Climbing to the top of the tower, we saw a magnificent view.
我们爬到塔顶后，看到了一片壮丽的景象。（表时间）
Living in the country, we had few social engagements.
我们住在乡下，交际的机会很少。（表原因）
Having money, he will buy a bigger car.（表条件）
Knowing the secret, she would not tell me about it..（表让步）
The child fell, striking his head against the door and cutting it.
那孩子跌倒了，头碰在门上碰破了.（表结果）
He stood leaning against the wall. 他靠墙站着.（表方式或伴随情况）
四、动名词与现在分词都可以用作表语，当动词的-ing的作用相当于名词时为动名词。当动词的-ing的作用相当于形容词时，动词的-ing为现在分词。
1．动名词用作表语
Her hobby is painting. 她的爱好是绘画。
Her job was tending the sheep. 她的工作是放羊。
The main thing is getting there in time. 首要的事是及时到达那里。
2．现在分词用作表语
The news is encouraging. 这消息令人鼓舞。
This story is very interesting. 这个故事很有趣。
The day was so charming. 天气真是好极了。
The difference was most striking. 差别很明显。
五、动名词与现在分词都可以用作定语
现在分词表示其所修饰的名词的动作，即: 现在分词与其所修饰的名词在逻辑上具有主谓关系。通常能改为一个定语从句。动名词则表示其修饰的名词的性质，或用途或功能. 两者在逻辑上无主谓关系。因此，只能改为一个for加动名词的短语。
1．动名词作定语，动名词表性质或用途或功能。
swimming pool 游泳池 drinking water 饮用水
swimming suit 游泳衣 waiting room 候车室
sleeping bag 睡袋 parking lot 停车场
sleeping pill 安眠药 writing desk 写字桌
sewing machine 缝纫机 writing paper 信纸
operating table 手术室 checking account 活期账户

diving suit 潜水衣 reading room 阅览室
diving board 跳板 playing ground 运动场
washing machine 洗衣机 boxing competition 拳击比赛
washing powder 洗衣粉 speaking contest 演讲比赛
fishing pole 钓鱼杆 fishing line 钓鱼线
2．现在分词作定语
developing countries 发展中国家 a booming town 日渐繁荣的城镇
growing doubts 越来越大的怀疑 the existing condition 现有条件
the remaining days 剩下的岁月 lasting peace 持久的和平
a falling star 流星 the leading newspapers 主要报纸
the ruling class 统治阶级 living things 有生命的东西
the ageing population 老化的人口 the rising generation 成长的一代
六、动名词与现在分词都可以用作补语，但现在分词用作宾语补语时，与前面的宾语构成复合宾语。
具有这种复合宾语的动词多为表示感觉的动词，如：smell, observe, watch, notice, look at, listen to 等。另外，有些使役动词如have, set, get, catch, keep, leave等可以后面接含有现在分词的复合宾语。还有，作为宾语补语的现在分词有时前面可有as，前面的动词多用regard, consider, describe, see, think of 等。现在分词用作主语补语，多用在被动结构中，与主语构成复合主语。而动名词作补语对相应的动词却没这些规定。
1．动名词用作补语
I call this robbing Peter to pay Paul. 我管这叫做拆东墙补西墙。
（robbing是宾语补语）
This is called turning things upside down. 这叫做把事物颠倒了。
（turning 是主语补语）
2．现在分词用作补语
We found him waiting to receive us. 我们发现他等着欢迎我们。
We kept the fire burning all the time. 我们使火一直燃烧着。
They described the young man as having initiative and drive.他们说这青年积极肯干。 He was seen going upstairs. 有人看见他上楼。
