Grammar
动词不定式(短语)作表语
一、 基本概念
动词不定式(短语)放在系动词之后,对主语的内容、性质、任务或动作进行解释说明,此时不定式(短语)充当表语。
二、 核心结构:主语 + 系动词 + 不定式(短语)
常用系动词:
①基础系动词:be(am/is/are/was/were)
②感官类系动词:seem、appear
③变化类系动词:get(较少见,需结合语境)
Grammar
动词不定式(短语)作表语
三、 核心用法
1. 说明主语的具体任务、目标或职责
主语多为抽象名词,如 job, task, duty, goal, purpose, plan 等。
例句:Our duty is to protect the environment. 我们的责任是保护环境。
2. 表示主语的具体动作或将来的动作
主语多为表示愿望、想法的名词 / 代词,如 wish, dream, plan, what we need to do 等。
例句:My dream is to live in the countryside with clean air.
我的梦想是住在空气清新的乡下。
Grammar
动词不定式(短语)作表语
3. 用于 seem/appear 等特殊系动词后表示主语看起来、似乎要做的动作。
例句:She seems to know the way to the forest park. 她好像知道去森林公园的路。
4. 描述主语的性质或特征(表 “应该 / 需要做某事”)
主语常为 the best way, the first step, the only choice 等,不定式短语用来说明主语具备的属性 —— 即主语对应的具体做法。
例句:The best way to save energy is to turn off the lights when leaving a room.
(功能:描述 “最佳节能方法” 的具体做法)
四、 核心区别(与动名词作表语的对比)
两者的核心差异在于动作的属性。
Grammar
动词不定式(短语)作表语
1. 动词不定式作表语:强调具体、一次性、将要发生的动作。
例句:My next step is to visit the local museum.
这个句子里的 “参观当地博物馆” 是下一步要做的具体事情,不是长期重 复的动作。
2. 动名词作表语:强调抽象、习惯性、经常性的动作。
例句:My hobby is collecting stamps about nature.
这个句子里的 “收集自然主题邮票” 是长期的爱好,是习惯性的动作。
3. 结合环境与地点主题的对比例句:
不定式作表语:Our class's task is to clean the beach this Sunday.
清理沙滩是本周日的一次性任务。
Grammar
动词不定式(短语)作表语
动名词作表语:The best way to relax is walking in the countryside.
在乡间散步是经常性的放松方式。
五、 关键注意事项
1. 不定式符号 to 的省略规则:只有当主语部分含有 do 的任何形式(do/does/did/done)时,作表语的不定式才可以省略 to,反之必须带 to。
①省略 to 的情况:What he wants to do is help you clean the garden.
②必须带 to 的情况:Our task is to help you clean the garden.
③否定形式:All we need to do is not waste food.
2. 系动词的使用限制:并非所有系动词都能接不定式作表语。感官类系动词(look, sound, feel, smell, taste)后通常接形容词作表语,不能接不定式。
Grammar
动词不定式(短语)作表语
错误表达:The park looks to be beautiful. 正确表达:The park looks beautiful.
3. 句式转换技巧:含不定式作表语的句子,可以转换为 “To do sth. is + 其他” 的结构,但当不定式短语过长时,常用 it 作形式主语,避免句子头重脚轻。
原句:Our goal is to save energy.
直接转换:To save energy is our goal. 优化转换:It is our goal to save energy.
六、 中考高频易错点
误区 1:所有系动词后都接不定式作表语
→ 纠正:look, sound, feel 等感官系动词后多接形容词,不接不定式。
误区 2:省略 to 的情况滥用
→ 纠正:只有主语含 do 的形式时,表语不定式才能省 to,其余情况必须带 to。
A. to build trust between you and your client.
B to achieve permanent peace between their two countries.
C. to build a memorial to the heroes who saved their lives.
D. to share his love for rock music with his fans.
E. to be left alone.
F. to criticize other people.
G. to inspire students to be creative.
H. to listen to your own inner voice.
I. to raise her son to become a man with a noble mind and a generous heart.
