Procedure:
Step 1 Lead in
T: Tell them since they have learned the text and the language points in it, you may have found many sentences with V-ing form. Now let’s read the following sentence and tell the functions of these V-ing forms in the sentences.
- This lesson isboring. (表语Predicative)

Step 2
U
sage of V-
ing
form
as an adjective
T: Tell them today they will learn the functions of the V-
ingform in sentences and how to use V-
ingform as an adjective or adverb. Let them look at the text books (page 28) First let the students go through the sample sentences in the group 1 and summarize the usage of Verb-
ingforms as an adjective.
Function as an adjective:
- A verb-ing form can appear before a noun. It modifies the noun as an adjective does.
V-
ing形式可以同形容词一样置于名词之前修饰名词。
- We can sometimes put an adverb before the verb-ing form.
有时V-
ing形式也可用副词修饰。
- A verb-ing form can appear after a noun to modify it as an attributive clause does. It can be changed into an attributive clause.
V-
ing形式亦可以同定语从句一样置于名词之后修饰名词,可以转化成定语从句。
- V-ing形式可以用作表语或宾语的补语。
T: After this, T can show them more sample sentences to help them to get a better understanding of the grammar rules and pay attention to some key points.
Attribute
:
- a running man
- The man running in the picture is Liu Xiang.
- The man running fastest got the first place.
- The man who is running in the picture is Liu Xiang.
(Tell them to pay attention to the position of the V-ing forms when they are used to modify a noun.)
小结:
- V-ing形式作定语可表示动作正在进行(如例1、2)或表示和所修饰词之间有逻辑主动关系(如例3)。
- 单个V-ing词作定语修饰名词一般置于名词之前(如例1);V-ing词组修饰名词则置于名词之后(如例2、3),此时相当于一个定语从句(如例4)。
Object Complement:
- I heard the girl singing in the class room.
- I noticed a long queue outside the bank waiting for it to open.
- The baby watched his dad shaving his face with great interest.
- We have the fire burning all day.
(Get the students focus on the words in blue and red, especially the functions and meanings of the words in red.)
小结:
- V-ing形式作宾语补足语置于宾语之后,表示一个正在进行的动作(如例1、2、3),或强调一个过程或一种状态。(如例4)
- V-ing形式作宾语补足语时,往往同宾语存在逻辑主动关系。
- V-ing形式作宾语补足语的常见动词:
make, let, have, keep, leave, see, watch, hear,, notice, find, feel 等
。
(After the above, give them enough time go over what they have learnt to make sure they have no difficulty in understanding them. Explain any questions raised by the students.)
Practice:
T: Ask them to fill in the blanks with the given words in the correct form. Meanwhile let them tell their functions in the sentences.
1. Sixty million people _____________ (live) in rural areas are moving to the cities every year.
2. The bottle ___________ (contain) the poison was sent to the laboratory.
3. The man ________ (sit) on the platform is a professor from Wuhan University.

Step 3
U
sage of V-
ing
form
as an adverb
T: Let the students look at group2 on page 28 and group 1 on page 30. Ask them discuss in pairs to summarize the following:
Function as an adjective:
- A verb-ingcan be used after verbs like stand, sit and lie. These two actions are happening at the same time.
常用于 stand, sit, lie 等动词之后表示伴随的状态。
- V-ing词组可以在句中充当时间、原因、结果、条件等状语。
(Finally let them go through group3 on page 2, 8 and group2, 3, 4 on page 30. Remind them what they should pay attention to when they use V-
ingforms.)
小结:
- A verb-inghas a perfect form, e.g., having done.
V-
ing有其完成式having done, 表示分词动作发生于主句动作之前。
- 表示时间状语时常同连词when, whenever, while, once, until等连用。
- 分词作状语时,(多置于句首)其逻辑主语同主句的主语一致且有逻辑主动关系,往往可转换为相应的状语从句。
- V-ing形式的否定not要置于V-ing之前。
(Make sure they have got a good understanding of the above rules and explain any questions raised by the students.)
Rewrite the following sentences:
- Hearing the bad news, they couldn’t help crying.
- Having received his letter, I decided to write back.
- Being so angry, he couldn’t go to sleep.
- Given more attention, the trees could have grown better.
- Though working from morning till night, his father didn’t get enough food.
