5)作定语:
动词不定式作定语,放在所修饰的名词或代词后。与所修饰名词有如下关系:
A)动宾关系:
I have a meeting to attend.
注意:不定式为不及物动词时,所修饰的名词如果是地点、工具等,应有必要的介词,如:
He found a good house to live in.
The child has nothing to worry about.
What did you open it with?
如果不定式修饰time, place, way,可以省略介词:
He has no place to live.
This is the best way to work out this problem.
如果不定式所修饰名词是不定式动作承受者,不定式可用主动式也可用被动式:
Have you got anything to sent?
Have you got anything to be sent?
B)说明所修饰名词的内容:
We have made a plan to finish the work.
C)被修饰名词是不定式逻辑主语:
He is the first to get here.
6)作状语:
A)表目的:
He worked day and night to get the money.
She sold her hair to buy the watch chain.
注意不定式放句首时,逻辑主语与句子主语要一致:
wrong:To save money, every means has been tried.
right: To save money, he has tried every means.
wrong:To learn English well, a dictionary is needed.
right: To learn English well, he needs a dictionary.
B)表结果:
He arrived late to find the train gone.
常用only放在不定式前表示强调:
I visited him only to find him out.
C)表原因:
They were very sad to hear the news.
D)表程度:
It’s too dark for us to see anything.
The question is simple for him to answer.
7)作独立成分:
To tell you the truth, I don’t like the way he talked.
8)不定式的省略:保留to省略do动词。
If you don’t want to do it, you don’t need to.
9)不定式的并列:第二个不定式可省略to。
He wished to study medicine and become a doctor.
