用作定语时，动词的-ing形式既包括动名词又包括现在分词, 动词的-ed形式仅是动词过去分词。
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 an attacking player.他是一个攻击型的运动员。(表示运动员的特征)
2.He asked an embarrassing question.他提了一个令人难堪的问题。(表示“令人….”)
weigh的各种形式3.A little child learning to walk often falls.学走路的小孩常常跌跤。(表示被修饰词的动作或状态，动词短语后置)
4.Do you know the number of people coming to the party?你知道来参加晚会的人数吗?(表示被修饰词的动作或状态，动词短语后置) 
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 young man writing novels came to speak to us yesterday.
→A young man who 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 girl sitting next to me was my cousin.
→The girl who was sitting next to me was my cousin.坐在我旁边的姑娘是我表妹。
另外需要注意的是上面做定语的动词-ing形式表示的动作是正在进行的工作或习惯性的动作，如果和主句谓语的动作不能同时发生时，则不能用-ing形式做定语而必须用定语从句形式。如：
昨天来我们学校的那位教授在明天给我们做报告。
3.The professor who came to our school yesterday will give us a lecture tomorrow.
 不正确的表述：The professor coming to our school yesterday will give us a lecture tomorrow.
总结：-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 set up an operating table in a small temple.他们将手术台架设在一座小庙里。
2.He may be in the reading room, for all I know.他说不定在阅览室里。
3.Ladies and gentlemen, please go and wait 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或习惯性的动作。如:
1.There were about 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 the woman 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 must have been a terrifying experience.那准时一段可怕的经历。
2.The experiment was an amazing success.那项试验是一个惊人的成功。
3.There is a page missing from this book.这本书缺了一页。
4)有些-ing形式已经转化成名词,常做定语用来修饰物
The scanning electron micrographs 这些电镜扫描照片

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being done. being doing通常表示正在被做,常做后置定语。如:
1.The tall building being built now is our new school.
正在被建的高楼是我们的新学校。
2.The question being discussed was presented by the headmaster.
正在被讨论的问题是被校长提出的。

一、动词-ed形式作定语
    过去分词作定语往往与被修饰的词靠得很紧, 渐渐地成为一个复合词。这种分词叫分词形容词, 实际上相当于一个单纯的形容词, 除表示“已完成”的动作之外, 还表示“被动”的意义。如：
spoken English (英语口语)； iced beer (冰冻啤酒)；cooked food (熟食); fried chips (炸土豆
条);
但要注意不及物动词的过去分词常表示“完成”的动作, 而不表示“被动”意义。如: boiled water(开水); fallen leaves(落叶) ; the risen sun(升起的太阳)等。
1. The tall man is a returned student．
      高个子的那个人是个归国留学生。
  2. My parents are both retired teachers．   
我的父母都是退休教师。
(1)前置定语
    单个的动词-ed形式,一般放在被修饰的名词的前面, 作前置定语。                               
The excited people rushed into building.  激动的人们冲进大楼。
Lost time can never be found again．  虚度的时光, 无法挽回。
(2)后置定语
  ①少数单个动词的-ed形式, 如left等, 只能作后置定语。
    1. Everything used should be marked．  所有用过的东西应该做好标记。
2. The books left are for my students．  剩下的书是给我的学生的。
② 动词-ed形式短语作定语时，通常要放在被修饰的名词的后面，在意思上相当于一个定语从句。
  1. Is there anything planned for tonight?  今晚有什么活动吗?
      (=That has been planned for tonight)
  2. The meeting, attended by a lot of people, was a success．这次会议有很多人出席, 开得很成功。
