染雾不要以为一个动词加上ing后都是现在进行式呀!动名词可分为两大类：
一、名词性的动名词(Nominal Gerund)
Nomin
(Indefinite article，如 a, an)，其他可加在动名词前的还有如：my, this, some,
any, all, no 等等。举例如下：
1. The mellow(愉快地) singing of the birds announces the coming of spring.
(singing前加定冠词 the及形容词mellow;coming 前加 the)
2. We knew the robber was near when we heard a faint rustling(沙沙声) in
the bushes.
(rustling 前加不定冠词a及形容词 faint)
从上面的例子可看出如何将一个动词转成名词;但它和真正的名词还是有区别的，那
就是没有单数或复数之分。不过，有一些动名词是可以变成真正名词的喔，如：
saying, writing, opening, painting, cutting, heading, feeling, being,
saving, surrounding, crossing, misunderstanding 等等。它们都可以有复数的喔，
方法就是在它们的后面加个s，如：paintings。
二、动词性的动名词(Verbal Gerund)
看看下面的句子：
Carelessly writing essays annoys the teacher.
上面的句子里的writing是动名词，但前面有副词carelessly(粗心地)，后面又有受
词(Object) essays。因此writing就有动词的特征。
注意：Verbal Gerund 这类动名词的前面可不能加上任何冠词(the, a, an ...)喔。
好，今天就谈到这里，更多关于动名词的事下回再谈。如果诸位不怕头晕的，请再来试
试，嘿嘿!
