动名词的用法是：在句子中作主语、宾语、表语、定语。
1. 作主语
动名词作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。如：Playing basketball is my hobby. 打篮球是我的爱好。
当表语是 no good, no use 等时，常用 it 代替动名词作主语。如：It is no good crying here.在这儿哭是没用的。
2. 作宾语
某些动词后只能接动名词作宾语，这类动词常见的有：admit，risk，envy，appreciate，forgive，escape，finish等。
例如：He didn't admit having broken the window. 他不承认是他打碎的窗户。
动名词也可以作介词的宾语。
如： The significance of learning English is to become an internationally able person. 学习英语的意义在于成为一名国际化的人才。
3. 作表语
当动名词作表语的时候，可以和主语调换位置。如：My hobby is reading books.= Reading books is my hobby. 我爱好阅读。
4. 作定语
动名词作定语，一般表示用途。如：a waiting room, 意为“候车室”a reading room, 意 为“阅览室”；a dining room, 意为餐厅。

1、动名词的用法就是把动词当名词用，所做的成分是名词常见的成分。当动词作主语或者作宾语这样一种名词的成分的时候，动名词常做句子的主语或宾语，也就是动名词的doing形式。
2、动名词作主语的时候，谓语动词用单数。
3、动名词作主语，还可以是复合结构，前面可以有物主代词。
4、如果动名词短语作主语，这个短语又很长，这个时候往往用 it 做形式主语。
5、动名词做宾语可以有复合结构，前面可以加形容词性物主代词。
6、动名词来自于动词，及物动词变成动名词之后，还保留有动词的一般属性，可以带宾语。
