一.不定式的五种基本形式
主动
被动
一般式
to do
to be done
完成式
to have done
to have been done
进行式
to be doing
不定式的否定形式:not to do/ not to have done / not to be doing/ not to be done/ not to have been done
不定式的进行式、完成式和被动式
①不定式的进行式由to be + V-ing构成,用来表示谓语动词动作发生时,不定式的动作正在进行。
eg. Some students pretended ____________ (read) English when the teacher came in.
②不定式完成式由to have + V-ed构成,用来表示动作发生在谓语动作之前。
eg. --- Is Bob still performing?
--- I’m afraid not. He is said __________ (leave) the stage already as he has become an official.
③不定式的被动式分为一般式被动to be V-ed和完成式被动to have been V-ed。当不定式的逻辑主语是不定式所表示的动作的承受者时,不定式要用被动语态。
eg. It is an honour for me_____________ (invite) to the party.
The book is said _______________________ (translate) into many languages.
All these gifts must be mailed immediately _____ in time for Christmas.
A. in order to have received B. in order to receive
C. so as to be received D. so as to be receiving
二. 不定式句法功能
1. 作主语:
To find a true friend is difficult.
不定式短语作主语时,可以直接放在句首,但在很多情况下,尤其是在疑问句和感叹句中,往往放在谓语之后,而用先行代词it作形式主语
It is difficult to find a true friend.
Is it difficult to find a true friend?
How difficult it is to find a true friend!
不定式作主语常见句型:
a) It is + adj. (easy, important, difficult…) + to do sth.
b) It is + n. (a pity, a pleasure, one’s duty, a shame) + to do sth.
eg. It’s a pleasure to go shopping at weekends.
c) It takes/needs/requires + some time (hours, months, days, patience…) + to do sth.
eg. It requires patience to be a good teacher.
2. 作表语:
当句子的主语是aim, idea, policy, question, suggestion, wish, task, duty, job, purpose等或者主语是what引导的名词性从句时,后面可以用不定式做表语,用以说明主语所包含内容。
eg. Our most important task now is to make a plan.
注:作表语的不定式都带to,但当主语部分有实义动词do时,to可以省略。
eg. The only thing we can do now is wait and see.
3.作宾语
The teacher said “Remember to bring the book tomorrow!”
a) 可以直接用不定式作宾语的动词很多,常见的有:agree, afford, tend, ask, decide, determine, expect, fail, hope, learn, intend, manage, offer, plan, promise, refuse, want, wish等
当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式时,先用形式宾语it代替不定式,把不定式置于补语之后,即:主语+动 词+it+补语+to do句式,常用动词有feel, think, find, believe, consider, make等。
如: He feels it his duty to help the poor.
I think it difficult to find a true friend.
b) 不定式一般不作介词的宾语,只有少数介词如but, except等后面可以跟不定式作宾语。一般情况下作介词宾语的不定式都带to,如果but或except前面有do, does, did, to do时,通常省略to。
eg. The bus hadn’t come. We had no choice but to wait.
= We could do nothing but wait.
4. 宾语补足语
在主语+谓语+宾语+宾补句型中,许多动词都可以接不定式作宾语补足语。
a) 通常作宾语补语的不定式要带to,常用于以下动词之后:ask, tell, advise, allow, permit, enable, expect, force, get, like, order, teach, want, invite, wish, beg等
You should get them to help you.
在谓语动词believe, find, think, feel, consider, suppose, imagine, prove等后面跟to be…作宾补,不跟to do, 有时to be可省略
①We all believe John (to be) honest.
②I consider him (to be) one of the best teachers of No. 1 Middle School.
但当不定式是完成式时,to不能省略,如:We consider him to have been foolish.
b) 以下两类动词后跟不定式作宾补时不能带to
①使役动词,如:let, have, make等
②感官动词,如: see, watch, notice, look at ,listen to ,hear, feel,等
Don’t let the children trouble you.
I heard someone open the door.
但当这两类动词为被动态时,不定式就成了主补。作主补的不定式必须加上to
His father made him go to bed early.
→He was made to go to bed early by his father.
动词不定式省略to的情况还有:
a) would rather, had better, why not do
I would rather go swimming.
You had better tidy your bedroom.
Why not visit your cousin in Japan?
b)当两个动词不定式由and, or, except, but, than, rather than相连接时,通常情况下第二个to要省略
Do you want to go shopping or watch a film?
I decided to write rather than phone.
We had nothing to do but watch TV.
=we had no choice but to watch TV.
(注:一般情况下作介词but, except后接to do,但是如果but或except前面有do, does, did, to do时,通常省略to。)
5. 作定语
不定式可以在句子充当后置定语,修饰名词。
以下几类情况常用不定式作定语:
①能带不定式作宾语的动词,其同源名词可以带不定式作定语。常见的有attempt, decision, promise, plan等
eg. He hasn’t kept his promise to write to his parents regularly.
②常与不定式搭配的形容词,其同源名词一般可以用不定式作定语。常见的有ability, determination, anxiety, eagerness等
eg. His eagerness to finish his homework was quite clear.
③序数词、形容词最高级或被only, last, next等修饰的名词可以用不定式作定语:
She was the only person to survive after the earthquake.
(Tips: 不定式在作定语时,有时与被修饰的名词有意义上的主谓关系、同位关系、动宾关系,如果该不定式是不及物动词,它后面需要加上适当介词。)
Eg. He’s always the first to come and the last to leave. 主谓关系
I’ve no time to listen to your excuse. 同位关系
She has a meeting to attend. (动宾关系=attend a meeting)
There’s nothing to worry about. (动宾关系=worry about nothing)
6. 作状语
⒈作目的状语
(1) ①I stayed there to see what would happen.
②Henry has decided to go to the hospital to be examined by the doctor.
(2)有时为了强调,不定式前可加in order或so as。如:
Bob took down my telephone number so as (in order) not to forget it.
有时为强调目的状语可把in order to或不定式置于句首,但so as to不能这样用。在这种句式中不定式部分可转换为so that, in order that,成为目的状语从句,如:
I stayed there in order (so as) to see what would happen.
=I stayed there so that (in order that) I could see what would happen.
⒉作原因状语
在部分表示感情色彩的形容词、过去分词或动词之后可接不定式,如:astonished, glad, happy, laugh, pleased, sad, smile, sorry, surprised等。
①We are glad to hear the news.
②I was surprised to see that a three-year-old baby could write so well.
在部分形容词后接不定式,用主动形式表示被动意义,这种句型中的主语是不定式的逻辑宾语
如:The question raised by the student is difficult to answer.
The room is really comfortable to live in.
常这样用的形容词有: easy, difficult, heavy, light, comfortable, fit, impossible等。
⒊ 作结果状语
We came home after our holiday to find our garden neat and tidy.
不定式作结果状语还常用在下列句式中。如:
①so…as to; such…as to
I'm not so stupid (a fool) as to put it in writing.我不至于愚蠢到会把它写下来。
I'm not such a stupid fool as to put it in writing.
②enough…to
The boy isn’t old enough to go to school.
= The boy is too young to go to school.
③only to 用于表示意想不到的结果
Jane hurried back only to find her mother dying in the hospital.
④too…to
I'm too tired to stay up longer.
但在下列结构中,too…to并非是“太……而不能……”之意。如:
①I'm only too glad to have passed the exam.考试及格我太高兴了。(too修饰glad to have…,相当 于very)
②We have too much to learn.我们要学的太多了(不定式作定语)。
4. 不定式短语还可作独立成分,用于句首、句中或句末。如:
To tell the truth, the play was a great disappointment tome.
常见的短语有to be exact(确切地说),to begin with(首先),to do him justice(说句对他公道的话),to be sure(真的)等等。
Eg. To tell you the truth, I dislike you.
7. 作同位语
eg. The order to start the general attack soon came.
不定式的复合结构,以it为形式主语或形式宾语引导的复合结构,如果其前的形容词是指行为的性质就用:for sb. to do sth.这种复合结构在句中可作主语、表语、宾语、定语、状语等。
It is necessary for me to learn English well.
如果该形容词是指行为的性质,同时又指行为的人,则用of sb. to do sth.。这种句式中的常用形容词有:right, wrong, brave, careful, careless, clever, wise, stupid, cruel, foolish, good, honest, kind, nice, silly等。
eg. It’s very kind of you to come to see me.
连接代(副)词+不定式(包括whether, what, which, whom, where, when, how, 不包括why),在句中起名词的作用,通常跟在诸如tell, know, show, decide, learn, wonder, explain等动词后作宾语,也可作主语或表语。
eg. No one can tell me where to find John.
When to start the exam is still unknown.
The problem is how to get enough money.
