课件23张PPT。Module 4Grammar不定式属于非限定动词。它除了不能作谓语外,在句中可以充当任何成分,可以作主语、表语、宾语、补语、定语和状语。
不定式的时态有:一般式、进行式、完成式、和完成进行式。当不定式的逻辑主语是不定式动作的承受者时,不定式就要用被动形式。Infinitive不定式一般式所表示的动作通常与谓语所表示的动作或状态同时(或几乎同时)发生,或在它之后发生。
主动:to do I’m glad to meet you.
She invited me to attend the meeting.
The boy is old enough to go to school.被动:to be doneThere was nothing to be done.
I’d like to be told what’s going on.
Nothing is allowed to be taken out of the reading room.不定式进行式表示动作正在进行,与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生。

They pretended to be working hard when their boss passed them.不定式完成式所表示的动作在谓语动作所表示的动作之前发生。
主动:to have doneI’m the only person in my family to have been in a sandstorm.
2. He is not likely to have got my letter.被动:to have been doneTo have been caught in a sandstorm is a terrible experience.
2. The room was said to have been cleaned. 注意:
在英语学习中常会遇到一些不带to的不定式。常见的关于不带to的不定式的用法如下:cannot but, cannot choose but 与 cannot help but 之后的不定式一般都不带to,常翻译为“不得不”。
I can’t but admire her courage.
我不能不钦佩她的勇气。
He can’t choose but do it.
她只好做这事了。
I can’t help but love her. 我不禁爱上她。2. 在连词but之前如有动词do,其后的不定式不用to,即:do nothing but + 动词原形,译为“只……”;但如果连词but之前的动词不是do,其后的不定式一般要带to。 He does nothing but complain.
她什么都不做,只是抱怨。
