【学习过程】
一、知识梳理:Infinitives(动词不定式)
什么是动词不定式?
动词不定式(infinitives)是非谓语动词的一种形式。它的构成形式是:to do。不定式的否定形式是在不定式前加not或never,即not to do/never to do。如:tell sb not to do,advise sb not to do,ask sb never to do。动词不定式可以带自己的宾语或状语,构成不定式短语。不定式没有人称和数的变化,但有时态和语态的变化。动词不定式(或不定式短语)在句子中可以作主语、宾语、状语、定语、补语等成分,但是不能作谓语。
1.不定式作主语
(1)不定式作主语表示具体的动作,通常指一件已知的事或目的。不定式作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
To say is a thing, to do is another.
To go to college is my dream.
(2)不定式短语较长时,通常放在谓语之后,用it作形式主语。
①It is important to learn English well.
②It is necessary for us to do the job well.
③It is a great honor to be invited to give a speech here.
2.不定式作宾语
(1)to do表示特定、具体、将来的动作。常只用不定式作宾语的动词有want, wish, hope, long, expect, desire, intend, decide, ask, promise, aim, offer, agree, plan, learn, choose, refuse, fail, manage, pretend等。
①He refused to help me.
②She has agreed to come tomorrow.
(2)不定式较长时,作宾语,也可用it代替,放在后面。
I find it difficult to do the job well.
I feel it necessary to set a goal for every subject.
(3)“特殊疑问词﹢不定式to do结构”具有名词特征,可作宾语。
①She didn’t know whether to go or not.
②They haven’t decided when and where to hold the meeting.
(4)不定式可作介词but, except, besides的宾语,介词前有实义动词do的任何一种形式,后边的不定式就无to;否则必带to。
①I want to do nothing but play the computer games.
②I have no choice but to wait.
③She can do nothing but wait patiently.
3.不定式作表语
(1)不定式作表语放在be和其他系动词后,说明主语的内容。同样,“特殊疑问词﹢不定式to do结构”具有名词特征,也可作表语。
①My target is to come out first in the race.
②His goal was to enter the key university in Beijing.
③The question is how to find a better way to learn English well.
(2)不定式作主语时,表语也必须为不定式,结构必须保持一致。
To see is to believe.
(3)如果主语部分的谓语动词或非谓语动词是实义动词do的某种形式,那么作表语的不定式可以省去to。
①The first thing to do is find her right now.
②The only thing he could do was tell the truth to his parents.
不定式作定语
不定式作定语表示将来,常放在所修饰的名词或代词后。
①I have something important to tell you. (不定式与被修饰名词构成被动关系)
She has nothing to eat or drink.
②His wish to be an artist has come true. (不定式与被修饰名词构成同位关系)
③He is the right man to do the job.(不定式与被修饰名词构成主动关系)
He is the first man to land on the moon
④The little girl was unhappy because she had no friends to play with. (不定式与被修饰名词构成主动关系)(注:若不定式为不及物动词,其后须加上相应的介词。)
I have a big room to live in.
不定式作状语
不定式作状语主要是表示目的、原因和结果,可位于句首或句末,但句首时通常用逗号隔开。
①We set off early to catch the early bus.(目的)
②To get a good result, she worked very hard.(目的)
③She was very happy to get the first prize.(原因)
动词不定式放在sorry, glad, surprised, disappointed, excited后面。
④He worked hard only to fail.(结果)
注:(1)不定式常用在so as或in order后,与它们一起作状语,表示目的,但so as引起的不定式不可置于句首。
In order to avoid mistakes, check your homework.
(2)不定式表结果时常和only连用,往往表示出乎意料的结果。
He hurried to the station, only to find the train had left.
(3)“形容词+enough+不定式”和“too+形容词或副词(不表情感)+不定式”也可作结果状语。
①He is old enough to go to school.
②He is too weak to raise the stone.
但“too+表情感形容词(pleased, ready, glad, willing, anxious等)+to do”表示肯定意义,too前面可用only,but等词修饰。
①They were (only) too anxious to leave. (他们只是太急于离开了。)
②She is (only) too pleased to go home. (她非常高兴可以回家了。)
6.不定式作补语
不定式作补语表示宾语所所做的动作。另外不定式可作使役动词、感官动词的补语。宾语与作补语的不定式之间是主动关系。
后接动词不定式作宾补的常见动词有:want, wish, expect, prefer, like, hate, ask, beg, request, require, beg, get, persuade, invite, advise, order, remind, permit, allow, send等。
后接动词不定式作宾补的常见的动词短语有:call on, would like/love, arrange for, depend on等。
Our headmaster called on us to work hard.
(3)动词不定式可作感官动词(五看二听一感觉即:see, look at, watch, observe, notice, hear, listen to, feel)和使让动词(let, make, have等)后面的宾补时,不定式符号to要省略,但如果句子变被动结构,必须带to。表示动作的完成。
①He made them climb the hill.
②They were made to climb the hill.
(4)动词不定式可作形容词的补足语。常见句型为:
(一)主语+系动词+表语(convenient/easy/expensive/difficult/hard/impossible/pleasant等)+to do(注:to do常用主动表被动,其中do为vt,主语为to do的宾语。)
(二)主语+find/think/consider/believe等+宾语+adj+to do(注:其中to do常用主动表被动,其中do为vt,主语为to do的宾语。)
①The problem is difficult to deal with.
The man is easy to work with.
②He finds the problem difficult to work out.
疑问词+to do
疑问词who, what, which, when, where, whether, how后可接不定式构成不定式短语,在句中作主语、宾语、表语等。如:
①When to leave for London has not been decided yet.(做主语)
②Mr. Smith didn’t know whether to leave or stay there.(做宾语)
③I asked Professor Xu how to learn English well.(做直接宾语)
④The question was where to get the medicine needed.(做表语)
以上例句中疑问词+不定式部分,均可转换为相应的从句形式。如:When we shall leave has not been decided yet.
7.动词不定式的时态语态
时态 主动语态 被动语态
一般式 to do to be done
进行式 to be doing 无
完成式 to have done to have been done

(1)时态
①一般式:动词不定式一般式表示的动作发生在谓语动词之后,有时表示同时发生。如:
I hope to become a university student this year.(to become发生在hope之后)
We often hear Dick play the piano in the room.(play和hear同时发生)
②完成式:表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前。如:
I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.
We are too young to have seen the old society.
③进行式:表示的动作与谓语动词同时发生。如:
The teacher happened to be correcting our papers when I came in.
They seemed to be discussing something important.
(2)语态
如果动词不定式的逻辑主语是这个不定式所表示的动作的承受者,不定式一般要用被动语态形式,如:
It’s a great honour for me to be invited to Mary’s birthday party.
It was impossible for lost time to be made up.
I wish to be sent to work in the country.
He went to the hospital to be examined.
