不定式作主语
一、通常用法
二、*it作形式主语的用法
*it作形式主语时的三种情况
三、“疑问词+动词不定式”作主语
1. 不定式作主语通常位于句首,表示具体的、某一次的或将来的动作,谓语动词用单数。
To see is to believe.
To get up early is necessary.
To finish the building in a month is difficult.
一【含义】
不定式作主语通常表示一个将来的、具体的内容;
而动词-ing形式则表示一种经常性的、习惯的或抽象的概念。
To look after children is her job today.
她今天的工作是看孩子。
Looking after children is her work.
她的工作是照顾孩子。
不定式作主语和动词-ing形式作主语和动词的区别:

=It’s not easy to work out the problem.
To play with snow in winter is interesting .
=It is interesting to play with snow in winter.
To finish the building in a month is difficult.

1. It is+形容词+for/of sb +to do sth
E.g.
