Grammar: Infinitive
不定式的句法功能
1. 作主语: 往往放在谓语动词之后, 用
it作形式主语,为了避免句子头重脚轻。
e.g.:
To see is to believe.
It is right to give up smoking.
_____ with him is a great pleasure.
A. To talk B. Talk
C. Talked D. To talking
本题考察动词不定式做主语的情况, 动词不定式做主语, 谓语动词用单数形式, 其他三项都不能用来做主语. 本句的意思是: 跟他聊天是件很快乐的事.
2. 作宾语: 作宾语时如果还带有宾语补 足语, 往往把不定式放在补足语之后,而用it作形式宾语。
e.g.:
He wanted to go.
I find it interesting to study English.
I didn’t manage ________ it until you had explained how.
A. manage to do B. managed to do
C. manage to have dong
D. manage doing
本句的意思是: 直到你解释了如何去做我才能做到成功。manage 后面用to do 形式作宾语。
3. 做宾语补足语
e.g.:
He asked me to do the work with him.
在feel, hear, listen to, look at, notice, observe, see, watch, have, let, make等词后的补足语中, 不定式不带to。
The government calls on us _______ our production.
A. increased B. increasing
C. increase D. to increase
本句意思是: 政府号召我们增加生产。本题考察动词不定式做宾语补足语, 通常用语及物动词和一些动词短语之后。如: want sb to do, wish sb to do, ask sb to do.
不定式作宾语补足语省略to的情况有下列口诀：一感二听三让五看半帮助。但是这些句子如果变成被动结构时, 就必须带上to
e.g.:
I often hear him sing the song.
He is often heard to sing the song.
4. 作定语
I have some books for you to read.
当作定语的不定式如果是不及物动词，或者不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的地点, 工具等时, 不定式后面必须有相应的介词。
e.g.：
He is looking for a room to live in.
当作定语的不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的承受者时, 不定式即可以用主动语态, 也可以用被动语态。但含义有所不同。
试比较：
Have you anything to send
你有什么东西要（自己）寄吗？
Have you anything to be sent
你有什么东西要（我或别人）寄吗？
At last, they found a house _________.
A. to leave his things with
B. to leave his things in
C. leaving his things in
D. leaving his things
本句的意思是:最后他们终于找到了一间可以存放东西的屋子。当动词不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式的地点, 工具等时,不定式后面应有必要的介词。
5. 作状语, 表示目的, 原因, 结果或条件。
e.g.:
I came here to see you
We were very excited to find nobody there.
He hurried to the school to find nobody there.
To look at him, you would like him.
目的
原因
