非谓语动词之动词不定式(to do)的用法

非谓语动词之动词不定式（to do）的用法

非谓语动词是指在句子中不是谓语的动词，主要形式有：不定式、动名词和分词（现在分词和过去分词）。

1.“to do”动词不定式的变形

2.动词不定式的用法

（1）充当主语（一般会用it 当形式主语）

To swim here is dangerous. =

It is dangerous to swim here.

To pass this English exam is unlikely. =

（2）充当表语（多数情况下，可以转换成动词不定式做主语）

My job is to help with your English learning.

To help with your English learning is my job.

（3）充当宾语（只能做某些动词的宾语，一般不做介词的宾语；有时用“it”做形式宾语）

I decided to attend this meeting last night.

I find it necessary to learn a foreign language.

注意：当以下动词欲接动词作宾语时，只能跟不定式作宾语。

decide, determine, learn, wish, hope

agree, plan, pretend, dare, refuse, fail

prepare, try, manage, help, promise

offer, beg, demand, afford, arrange, be supposed

（4）充当宾语补足语

I persuaded him to make a speech in public.

注意：在感官动词／使役动词／help后（see, hear, watch, notice, make,

have, let后不定式做宾补时，可省略“to”）

I saw them have a disagreement on who should sweep the floor. （我看到了

他们争论的整个过程）

但，感官动词后面也可接Ving形式，表示正在进行。

I saw them arguing about who should sweep the floor. （我看到他们正在

争论谁该扫地，并不一定看到了整个过程）

（5）充当状语（目的，原因，结果状语，其逻辑主语与句子主语一致）

I wrote him a letter to further explain this matter. （目的状语）

I’m sorry to bother you.（原因状语）

He queued for hours at the box office only to find that the show was sold out.

（结果状语，only + to find/realize/discover表示出乎意料的结果）（6）充当定语（不定式作定语，要放在所修饰的词的后面）

I have a lot of dishes to wash.

Do you have anything to say?

There are 3 questions to answer.

（7）一些固定句型中不定式省略“to”

had better

would rather do… than do…

why not do

“except/but” 有“do” 无“to”，有”to”无“do”

have nothing to do but do…

do everything but/except

have no choice but to

want nothing but/except to

（8）当两个或多个作用相同的不定式并列（and/or/than）时，通常只保留第一个不定式的“to”.

He told me to stay there and wait for him.

It’s easier to persuade people than force them.

To try and fail is better than not to try at all. （否定式中“to”不能省略）
