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，因此要求每位高中学生对其都应清楚了解并正确运用。下面就动词的-ing形式在句中做定语总结如下：
动词的-ing形式做定语在句中通常有两个位置，如果是单个的动词的-ing形式做定语，常放在被修饰词前做前置定语;如果是动词的-ing形式的短语做定语，常放在被修饰词后做后置定语。如：
1.He is anattacking player.他是一个攻击型的运动员。
2.He askedan embarrassing question.他提了一个令人难堪的问题。
3.A littlechild learning to walk often falls.学走路的小孩常常跌跤。
4.Do youknow the number of people coming to the party?你知道来参加晚会的人数吗?
注意：当-ing形式做后置定语时，可以相当于相应的定语从句。如：
1.A youngman writing novels came to speak to us yesterday.
→A young manwho 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 girlsitting next to me was my cousin.
→The girlwho was sitting next to me was my cousin.坐在我旁边的姑娘是我表妹。
-ing形式做定语通常从以下三方面考查，即：
1)说明被修饰词的性质，特征或用途。如：
1.They setup an operating table in a small temple.他们将手术台架设在一座小庙里。
2.He may bein the reading room，for all I know.他说不定在阅览室里。
3.Ladies andgentlemen，please go andwait in the meeting room.女士们先生们，请去会议室等待。
2)与被修饰词为主动关系且表示正在进行的动作。如：
1.There wereabout 200 children studying in the art school.有大约二百个孩子在这所艺术学校学习。
2.Who is thewoman talking to our English teacher?
正在和我们英语老师谈话的那位妇女是谁?
3)有些-ing形式已经转化成形容词，常做定语用来修饰物，表示“令人……”。常用的此类词有：exciting，amusing，amazing，astonishing，shocking，puzzling，confusing，disappointing，discouraging，pleasing，striking，boring，tiring，touching，moving，interesting，satisfying，terrifying，frightening等。如：
1.That musthave been a terrifying experience.那准时一段可怕的经历。
2.The experimentwas an amazing success.那项试验是一个惊人的成功。
3.There is apage missing from this book.
除了-ing形式能做定语外，如果-ing形式与被修饰词是被动关系，就用它的被动式，即beingdone.being doing通常表示正在被做，常做后置定语。如：
1.The tallbuilding being built now is our new school.正在被建的高楼是我们的新学校。
2.The questionbeing discussed was presented by the headmaster.正在被讨论的问题是被校长提出的。
