1)若我們將動名詞放在名詞前面做複合字時,動名詞即用以修飾後面的名詞,而表示其用途者居多。
如:a smoking room= a room for smoking
a sleeping car = a car for sleeping
a walking stick= a stick for walkikng
不過在這些情況,動名詞與名詞之間常用hyphen連接著,如:a smoking-room(但不是絕對)
2)現在分詞修飾名詞時,名詞即成為-ing意思上的主詞,分詞則表示其「動作或狀態」
如:a sleeping child= a child who is sleeping
a walking dictionary= a dictionary that walks(一本活字典)
但有時現在分詞和動名詞必須由前後的關係判斷,如:a dancing girl若作「正在跳舞的女孩」解釋時,dancing是現在分詞。但若作「舞女」解釋,dancing則為動名詞。
所以:
relaxing garden= a garden for relaxing(g.p.)
exciting game = a game that is exciting(P.P.)
typing pool聯合打字組,typing是指出他們的工作,所以是(g.p.)
washing machine =machine for washing(g.p.)
rolling stone= a stone that is rolling(P.P)

pp可用作形容詞,副詞;也如形容詞一般可作名詞,如:the living=living men. The unknown has a mysterious attraction.作副詞,如:piercing cold等等,但pp最特別的地方,就是它可以成為分詞構句,如:Desiring to rest, I lay down on the grass.There being no taxi, we had to walk.

動名詞的主要作用是作名詞用,但它若加上介詞,就可以形容副詞片語或形容詞片語。如:He spends his spare time (in reading)
