动词不定式的用法
一、动词不定式在句子中不能充当谓语,没有人称和数的'变化。
二、动词不定式是由“to+动词原形”构成(有时可以不带to)。动词不定式的否定形式是“not+动词不定式”(not不与助动词连用)。
三、动词不定式短语具有名词、形容词和副词等的功能,可在句中用做多种句子成分。
1、主语:常置于句末,而用it代替其做形式主语。例:
To go in for sports helps you stay fit.
It helps you stay fit to go in for sports. It is dangerous to swim in the deep sea on your own.
注:此句式中不定式逻辑上的主语可由for或of引出,逻辑主语由of引出时,表语的形容词为kind,nice,good,polite,clever,foolish,right,wrong等表示评价的形容词。
例:It's right of him to refuse the invitation1.(him为逻辑主语)
2、表语:Our duty is to protect the enviroment.
3、动词宾语:此种情况可按固定搭配或句式去记。
例:would you like to see my photos?
Kevin planned to visit his uncle.
和plan用法一样的词还有:start,want,agree,hope,begin,decide等。
I found it very difficult to get a job.(it为形式宾语)
4、宾语补足语:
(1)在多数复合宾语及物动词后要带to。
例:I asked a friend to read it to me.(book4,L2)
(2)在表示感觉、致使等意义的动词(see,watch,hear,feel,notice,observe,make,let,have,help等)后不带to。
例:They heard him sing a pop song in the meeting room.
5、定语:动词不定式做定语放在所修饰的名词的后面。
例:Vinny is the first disabled2 person to sail3 around the world.
6、形容词补足语:在表示心理、感情、评价等的形容词后,对其进行补充说明。
例:Weareverygladtomeetyouagain.
7、状语:表示目的、原因、程度等。
例:They brought in photos of their families for me to look at.
8、“疑问词+不定式”用法:不定式前可带what,who,which,where,when,how等疑问词,这种不定式短语在句中多用做宾语。
例:He didn't tell me where to go.
9、在初中阶段还涉及到“不定式被动语态一般式(tobe+过去分词)”。
例:There are twenty more trees to be planted.
