Would you please help me(to) fill in the taxform?
I've never known her(to)be late before.但:He was known to have been to France before.
(5)部分短语动词后,常接不定式作宾补,如: You may depend on them to be there early.
The Party calls on us to increase production and practise economy.
常这样用的短语动词有:ask for,care for,call on,count on,depend on,wait for,long for(渴望), prepare for,wish for等。 ⒉作主语补足语
不定式作主语补足语,和主语构成一种逻辑上的主谓关系。如: ①He was not allowed to enter the classroom for being late.
②The young university student is considered to have great promise. 六、不定式作状语 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 examinedby 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 toforget 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 so that (in order that)I could see whatwould happen.
(3)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 thestudent is difficult to answer. The room is really comfortable to live in. 常这样用的形容词有:comfortable,easy,dangerous,difficult,expensive,fit,impossible等。 ⒉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 speed is high enough for us to catch up with thefirst liner. ③only to
Jane hurried back only to find her mother dying inthehospital. 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)。 ⒊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。 七、动词不定式、动名词的其它用法 ⒈疑问词+不定式结构
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. ②Mr. Smith didn't know whether to leave or stay there. ③I asked Professor Xu how to learn English well. ④The question was where to get the medicine needed.
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:①When we shall leave…③…how I could learn…
经常在这种结构中使用的动词有:consider,decide,discover,explain,find out,forget,hear,know,lea rn,observe,understand,wonder等。 ⒉动词不定式的时态、语态 (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.(tobecome发生在hope之后) We often hear Dick play the piano in the next 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 Icame 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 to be invited to Mary's birthday party.(不定式作主语) It was impossible for lost time to be made up.(不定式作主语) I wish to be sent to work in the country.(不定式作宾语)
Can you tell me which is the car to be repaired?(不定式作定语) He went to the hospital to be examined.(不定式作状语)
在There be结构中,修饰主语的不定式可用被动,也可用主动。如:There are still many things to t ake care of (to be taken care of).但有时两种形式表达的意思不同,如:These is nothing to do now.( We have nothing to do now.) There is nothing to be done now.(We can do nothing now.)
⒊动名词的时态、语态 (1)时态
①一般式:动名词的一般式所表示的动作可以是泛指,也可与谓语动词同时发生,或发生在谓语动作之前 、之后。如: We are interested in collecting stamps.
I shall never forget seeing the Great Wall for the firsttime. We are not afraid of dying.
②完成式所表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前。如: Lmagine having travelled on the moon.
We were praised for having finished the work ahead of time. (2)被动语态
①如果动名词的逻辑主语为动名词所表示的动作的承受者,动名词要用被动语态,动名词的被动语态有一 般式与完成式之分。如: The young man came in without being noticed.
He prided himself on having never been beaten in class.
②有些动词后的动名词用主动形式,但表示被动意义。如: The bike needs repairing.
If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
⒋在口语中,为避免重复,常用\代替不定式结构,有时甚至可以把to省略。如:
①—Did you go to visit the Great Wall?
—No,I wanted to,but there wasn't enough time. ②—Would you like to come to a party? —I'd love to.
③—Don't make any mistakes in your homework,will you? —I'll try not to.
④—Try to be back by 12,won't you? —OK,I'll try.
另外,be going to,ought to,used to等也常用于这一结构中。 ⒌在why引起的问句中,省略\。如: Why spend such a lot of money? Why not wait for a couple of days?
⒍当两个或更多作用相同的不定式并列使用时,只在第一个不定式前加\。如:
It's quite necessary for us to read more and have morepractice. ⒎\在下列短语中是“介词”,后接动名词或名词形式。如: devote…to,face up to(勇敢地面对),look forward to(盼望),object to(反对),take to(养 成习惯,对……感兴趣;开始从事某种活动),be used to(习惯于)等。
