to live on 是不定式短语,在此句中作land的后置定语,意为“可居住的”,起形容词的作用。在英语中,动词不定式做后置定语修饰前面的名词或代词时,他们之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系。若动词是不及物动词,呀在其后加上相应的介词。

I want a place to live (in).

五.语法
形容词比较级和最高级(I)
一、形容词的比较级和最高级的构成
1. 规则变化:
(1)一般在词尾加—er或—est.如:fresh—fresher—freshest.
(2)以字母e结尾的形容词,加r或st,如:late—later—latest.
(3)以重读闭音节结尾的词,词尾只有一个辅音字母时,应双写这一辅音字母,再加er或est.如:
big—bigger—biggest.
(4)以辅音字母+y结尾的双音节词,先改y为i,再加er 或est.如: happy—happier—happiest.
(5)部分双音节词和多音节词前面加more或most构成比较级或最高级。如:
careful—more careful—most careful,
beautiful—more beautiful—most beautiful.
2.不规则变化:
good/well—better—best,
little—less—least,
many/much—more—most,
bad/ill—worse—worst,
far—farther/further—farthest/furthest.
记忆口诀
比较级要变化,一般词尾加-er;
词尾若有哑音e,直接加r就可以;
一辅重读闭音节,辅音字母要双写;
辅音字母加上y,要把y变成i;
最高级后加-est,前面加the莫忘记。
3. 比较等级的用法
(1) 比较级的用法
1. 表示两者之间进行比较时,常用“A... + adj./adv.比较级 + than + B”结构
Lily's room is bigger than mine.
【拓展】如果比较对象相同,为了避免重复,在从句中常用the one,that, those等词来代替前面出现过的名词。
其中the one 代替可数名词单数形式,the ones或those代替可数名词复数形式,that代替不可数名词;如果主语是物主代词+名词,那么后面要用名词性物主代词。
The weather of Tianjin is colder than that of Guangzhou in winter.
2. 形容词比较级可用a little, a bit, a great deal, a lot, much, even, still, far, rather等修饰,使原来的比较级在语意上更加明确
It is much colder today than yesterday.
Can't you stay a little longer
3. 表示两者之间进行选择“哪一个更……”时,用句型“which/who is+adj.比较级,A or B ”表示
Who is taller, Lily or Lucy
4. 表示“两者之间比较……的一个(of the two)”时,常用“the + 比较级+ of 短语”结构
Mary is the taller of the twins.
5. 表示“越来越……”,用比较级重叠结构,即“比较级 + and + 比较级”,当形容词为多音节或部分双音
节词时,用“more and more+adj.原级”
It's getting warmer and warmer in spring.
6. 表示“越……就越……”时,用“the + 比较级,the + 比较级”结构
The more, the better.
(2) 最高级的用法
1. 表示三者或三者以上的人或物进行比较时,用最高级形式。adj./adv.最高级前必须加定冠词the,句末常跟一个in/of短语来表示范围
Tom jumps the highest in our class.
Shanghai is the biggest city in China.
2. 表示三者或三者以上的人或物中进行选择时,用“which/who is + the + 最高级,A,B or C ”结构
Which city is the most beautiful, Beijing, Shanghai or Fuzhou
3. 表示“最……的……之一”时,用“one of the + adj.最高级”结构,该形容词后面的名词要用复数形式
Zhou Jielun is one of the most popular singers.
4. 形容词最高级前面可以加序数词,表示“第几最……”
The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.
5. 形容词最高级前面可以有物主代词、指示代词、名词所有格等修饰,此时不能再用定冠词
This is our best lesson today.
6. 借助other,else或否定词,比较级形式可用来表示最高级概念
He is taller than any other boy in our class.
Nobody runs faster than him.
7. 在表示最高级的句子中,如果前后的名词属于同类的,则范围前用of;属于不同类的用in
