语法详解
动词不定式
动词不定式由"to + 动词原形"构成,有时可以省略to。动词不定式在句中可作宾语、宾语补足语、状语、定语等。动词不定式在句子中不作谓语,所以没有人称、数和时态的变化。
(一)不定式的具体用法:
考点 1 作宾语 在offer,plan,hope,decide,learn, wish,want,agree,refuse,begin, start,forget,remember等动词之后作宾语。 Finally he offered to go shopping with me.
最后他主动提出跟我一起购物。
I want to see a film tomorrow evening.
我想明天晚上去看一部电影。
在know,decide,remember等动词之后可用"疑问词+动词不定式"作宾语。 I don’t want to stay at home, but I don’t know where to go.
我不想待在家里,但是我不知道去哪里。
考点 2 作宾语
补足语 在teach,ask,allow,invite,advise等动词之后用不定式作宾补。 My parents allow me to play computer games at weekends.
我父母允许我周末玩电脑游戏。
在let,make和have之后用省略to的不定式作宾补。 My mother often makes me clean the windows.
我妈妈常常让我擦窗户。
考点 3 作状语 动词不定式表示目的。 They are working hard to save the injured tiger.
他们正在努力营救那只受伤的老虎。
考点4 作定语 不定式在句中作定语,置于被修饰的名词或代词之后。 She was the first person to think of the idea.
她是第一个想出这个主意的人。
考点5 作主语 不定式直接作主语 To say is easy, but to do is not easy.
说起来容易,做起来难。
It作形式主语,不定式(短语)作真正的主语 It is difficult(for me) to learn math well.
(对我来说)学好数学很难。
(二)不带to的不定式的使用
1. (1) 能直接跟带to的不定式结构的动词主要有:want, ask, tell, hope, learn, try, decide, forget,
remember, like, love, stop等。
要求选择同意 (ask, choose, agree), 期望决定学习 (expect, hope, decide, learn),
宁可假装知道 (prefer, pretend, know), 希望想要愿意 (wish, want, would like / love)。
(2) 动词不定式的否定形式是在不定式前直接加not, 即not to do sth.。
Jim told me not to wake up Kate.
2. 疑问词+不定式作宾语
tell, advise, show, teach, learn, know等常跟“疑问词+不定式”作宾语。
例:Could you please tell me where to park my car?
No one could tell me how to do it?
3. 动词feel, find, make, think等后面,可以用it作形式宾语代替真正的宾语——动词不定
式,句子结构是...feel / find / make / ...
it adj. / n. to do...。如:
I find it difficult to remember everything.
4. 后接动词不定式或v-ing形式作宾语,意思差别较大的动词有forget, remember等。后接
不定式作宾语,表动作尚未发生;后接v-ing形式作宾语,表动作已经发生。
stop to do停下来做另外一件事 stop doing停止正在做的事,
try to do尽力做 try doing试试看;
go on to do接着做另外的事 go on doing继续做原来的事。
1) When I left home, I_______________ with me. 当我离开家的时候,我忘记带着它了。
2) I ________________________ them last year. 我去年就不再用他们了
