infinitive
Infinitive
Negative infinitive:
A negative infinitive is formed by adding not or never immediately before the infinitive sign to . E.g: We decided not to buy that house. She wished never to see him again. (not/never to + the base of the verb) Ex: I promised to lend them some money. ( negative form) I promised not to lend them some money. She pretended to see me. (negative form) She pretended not to see me.
f) The bare infinitive usually appears after “ causative verb+object”. ( have, let, make, help, get, set, have, etc.) E.g.: 1.make /have/ let/help +sb +do sth. We can’t let this go on. He won’t have us criticize his work. They made me repeat the story. 2.get/set/leave + sb to do/doing sth. I can't get anyone to do the work properly. We left him to paint the gate. But when the causative verb occurs in the passive, the bare infinitive should be turned into a to-infinitive. E.g.: They made me repeat the story.

动词不定式（infinitive）：在语法中，动词不定式是指动词的一种不带词形变化从而不指示人称、数量、时态的形式。
它之所以被叫做不定式，是因为动词不被限定，或者说不被词形变化所局限。
不定式属于非谓语动词。
在外语学习的课程中，动词不定式的一般现在时被称作“词典用词”，因为它一般被用作词典中该动词的词头。
对于英语来说接不定式的单词多为“打算”“计划”“希望”等表示未来的动词。
同样与不定时表示不同的动词不定式表示正在进行，一般性或经常发生性的行为。
动词不定式可以作以上各种成分，但它毕竟是动词，所以有动词的属性。
动词不定式及其短语还可以有自己的宾语、状语，虽然动词不定式在语法上没有表面上的直接主语，但它表达的意义是动作，这一动作一定由使动者发出。
这一使动者称之为逻辑主语。

二、不带to 的不定式（The bare infinitive）
• 1.情态助动词之后用不带to 的不定式 • 不带to的不定式的主要用法是放在情态助动 词will，shall，would，should，can，could， may， might，must之后，所有的情态助动 词（除ought外）后必须跟不带to的不定式。 例如：
• (4)主语是带有动词do的主语从句时： • What I want to do is take a holiday now. • What they are seeking to do is discover the form of the book from its content.
• (5)主语是以动词say作谓语的定语从句所修 饰的all时： • All they said is hurry up please. •
• 二）动词+宾语+不定式
• 有些动词必须先带宾语，然后再带不 定式，最常用的这类词包括: accustom, admit, aid, advise, allow, appoint, ascertain, ask, assist, authorize, bear, beckon, beg, believe, bring, bribe, call, cause, caution, challenge, charge, coax, coerce, command, compel, condemn, consider, convince, dare, decide, defy, demand, designate, desire,
• 6.当不定式结构由and, or, except, but, than连 接时，第二个不定式通常不带to。例如： • I want to lie down and go to sleep. • Do you want to have lunch now or wait till later? • We had nothing to do except watch the TV. • I'll do anything but work as a driver.
不定式
当三个或三个以上带to不定式构成排比结构（Parallel Construction） 时，所有不定式符号均需保留。
3、不定式符号to与介词to的辨别问题
a)动词+介词to 这类搭配常见的有add to，agree to，adhere to（坚持），admit to， allude to（暗示），amount to（等于），attend to，attest to，bow to（顺从），cling to，come to，correspond to（等于），confess to， consent to，contribute to，object to，get to，pertain to（属于）， react to，resort to，revert to，refer to，relate to，submit to， succeed to，stick to，swear to（强调地说），take to，trust to， witness to，yield to等。例如： Keeping what belongs to another amounts to stealing. He swore to having paid for the goods.
但是，当某些动词如agree，swear，come，get接不定式则含义不同。
详见语法书P226
b)动词+名词/代词+介词to 这类搭配常见的有ascribe…to（归因于），apply…to，attribute…to （归因于），abbreviate…to（缩写为），accustom…to，confine…to， commit…to（使负有责任），devote…to，dedicate…to，owe…to（归 功于)，prefer…to，reconcile…to(安于），reduce…to，resign…to（听 任）等。例如： He applied himself to learning English. The doctor devoted himself to finding a cure. c)动词+-ed分词+介词to 这类搭配常见的有be accustomed to,be abbreviated to（缩写为）,be reduced to,be resigned to（听任）,be devoted to,be given to,be used to 等。例如：

Infinitive ―to‖ or preposition ―to‖?
Distinguish infinitive ―to‖ & preposition ―to‖ —— If ―to‖ can be followed by a noun or noun equivalent, it proves to be a preposition. Otherwise, it is an infinitive sign. The following are some examples of the collocations in which the item ―to‖ is preposition, not an infinitive sign. A) verb + preposition ―to‖, e.g. confess to attest to contribute to refer to agree to bow to object to submit to stick to adhere to pertain to take to yield to attend to resort to come to relate to amount to react to consent to … When it comes to belling the cat, the mice have nothing to say. He will not submit to being separated from her. Keeping what belongs to others amounts to stealing.

2 Notes on the use of the infinitive sign 3 Combinations of infinitives with adj. / n. / v.
1 Forms of the infinitive 2 types of infinitive: to-infinitive & bare infinitive.
But when taking other positions , the following infinitive may be with or without to. e.g. He decided to go fishing rather than (to) stay in the dormitory. The manager believes it is important to invest in new machinery rather than (to) increase wages.
2) Ellipsis of the infinitive sign a) When two to-infinitives are coordinated by and / or, the second to is usually omitted. e.g. I intend to call on him and discuss this question again. b) When there is a contrastive meaning, the second to must be retained. e.g. To be or not to be, that is the question. c) The infinitive sign cannot be omitted if there is no coordinator between the coordinate infinitives. e.g. Please go to the seaside to swim, to get suntanned. d) Nor can any infinitive sign be omitted if a sequence of infinitives occur in a parallel construction. e.g. The student must learn to read extensively, to analyze what he reads and to summarize the main points presented.

Definition
• 动词根据是否受到限制，分为限定动词和非限定 动词。
• 限定动词受人称（person）、数目（number）和时态 （tense ）的限制。此外，还有语态（voice）和情态 （mood）等。通常作句子的谓语。 例如： ① Good leaders serve the people whole-heartedly. ② Jason is giving a public lecture. ③ Who did it? ④ I would appreciate it if you could do me a favor.
• 现代英语倾向于采用先行词it，将不定式结构 后置。 e.g.： It is quite dangerous to lean out of the window. It is my pleasure to meet you. It is very important to develop education.
b) 表示结果 不定式结构表示结果常用于下列搭配： so as… to, such…as to…, enough to…, too… to…等。 e.g.: He is so careless as to get everything confused. He is such a fool as to think that he will win everyone. 男孩很高够得上天花板了。 The boy is tall enough to reach the ceiling. 她的视力太差，无法阅读这么小的字母。 Her eyesight is too poor to read such small letters.

Infinitive1.Forms of the infinitiveThere are two types of infinitives: to-infinitive and bare infinitive. The bare infinitive is just the infinitive without to, which is identical in form with the base of the verb.1.1 Grammatical forms1.1.1 The infinitive has no tense distinctions (The time reference isshown by the context or by the tense of verb in the mainclause), no person or number contrasts. But they can bepassive and take the simple, continuous, perfective andperfective continuous forms.eg: The tax bill will be the first item to be debated in the next parliament. (税收将会是下一次议会上第一个被讨论的话题)Their proposal was the first one to be debated atyesterday’s planning meeting. (他们的提议是昨天计划会议上第一个被讨论的议题)1.1.2 A negative infinitive is formed by adding not or neverimmediately after the infinitive sign to.eg: I decided not to attend the birthday party. (我决定不去参加那个生日晚会)1.2 To-infinitive and bare infinitive forms1.2.1 To-infinitive forms1.2.2Bare infinitive formsa) When several infinitives have the same faction, to can beonly used before the first infinitive to avoid repeating.eg: It is just impossible to see that and not feel angry. (看见它不感到生气是不可能的)But when two infinitives express contrast meaning, or justto emphasize, we cannot omit to.eg: To die or not to die—that is the question. (是生还是死，这就是问题所在)b) The questions begin with whyeg: Why leave the window open? (为什么把窗户打开？)c) After these phrases had better, had best, would rather…than,rather than, would sooner (…than ) , cannot (help) but, donothing but, might (just) as well, do nothing besides | than |except | save, etc, we often omit to.eg: She can’t do anything but ask silly questions.(她一个劲地问一些傻问题)But if there are not object verbs do or help before but orexcept, to is cannot be omitted.d) After these verbs hear, listen to, feel, look at, watch, notice,observe, perceive, let, make, bid, have, note, leave, let, etc, tocan be omitted when infinitive works as object complements.eg: I didn’t notice her go out.(我没注意到她出去了)e) We can omit to after go, come, and run with another new verbwhen it is used in a sentence to express order, suggestion, orrequirement.eg: I’ll go see my sister.(我将去看我的妹妹)f) When rather than or sooner than used in front of a sentence,we can omit to.eg: Rather than travel by air, he preferred a train on histour.(比起坐飞机，在旅行时他宁愿做火车)g) In the phrases such as make believe, let go, hear tell, go hang,etc, we can omit to.eg: He made believe he was innocent.(他假装他是清白的) 2.

3、英语语法学习笔记-非谓语动词
非谓语动词谓语动词的另一个称谓叫限定性动词（finite verbs），与之相对的非限定性动词（non-finite verbs）不受到主语、人称限制、限定的动词，此类动词失去表达时间和人称的能力。
这样的动词就是非谓语动词。
谓语动词是句子的核心，非谓语动词职能出现在非核心的内容中。
1、动词不定式（infinitive）不定式是指不受人称、时间的限制，通常为to+动词原形。
如：To be or not to be,that is the question.此类句子被称为完全不定式（full infinitive ）但是有时to也会被省略，如:You helped me (to) cook the carrot.此类句子被称为裸不定式（bare infinitive）谓语动词只能作为核心成分，非谓语动词可以做其他成分。
（1）动词不定式做主语To eat a carrot every day is good for the rabbit.划线部分即为句子的主语，如果用it作为形式主语来代替主语，而将主语“To eat a carrot every day”放在谓语动词之后，It is good for the rabbit to eat a carrot everyday.（it is + adj+for sb+to do sth.）这句话也是带形式主语。
（2）动词不定式做宾语The rabbit likes to eat carrots.注意有的动词后面不能接作为宾语的动词不定式。
I consider（复杂及物动词）the rabbit smart.用it作为形式宾语，I consider it important to eat a carrot everyday.（3）动词不定式作为宾语补足语The rabbit expected the wolf to eat a carrot.see、find、watch、have、make、left这类使役动词用不定式作宾语时，必须省略to，如：Carrots make the rabbit feel happy.其他谓语动词接不定式作为宾语补足语时，是否省略to都是正确的表达。
infinitives 用法
infinitives 用法Infinitive phrases are versatile and powerful tools in the English language. They are formed by using the base form of a verb, usually preceded by the word "to." Infinitives can be used in a variety of ways to add extra information or clarify the purpose or intention of an action. In this article, we will explore the different ways infinitives are used and provide detailed explanations and examples for each.1. Infinitives as noun phrases:Infinitives can act as noun phrases in a sentence. They can serve as subjects, direct objects, objects of prepositions, or complements. Let's look at some examples of each:- Subject: To travel is my biggest dream. (Here, "to travel" acts as the subject of the sentence.)- Direct Object: I want to eat pizza. (In this sentence, "to eat pizza" acts as the object of the verb "want.")- Object of Preposition: She went to the store to buy groceries. ("To buy groceries" acts as the object of the preposition "to.")- Complement: Her goal is to become a doctor. ("To become adoctor" acts as the complement of the verb "is.")2. Infinitives as adverbs:Infinitives can also function as adverbs in a sentence. They provide additional information about the action or verb in the sentence. Infinitives used as adverbs can express purpose, result, cause, or time. Let's explore some examples:- Purpose: I went to the gym to exercise. ("To exercise" explains the purpose of going to the gym.)- Result: She studied hard to pass the exam. ("To pass the exam" explains the result or consequence of studying hard.)- Cause: He skipped breakfast to catch the bus. ("To catch the bus" explains the cause of skipping breakfast.)- Time: We woke up early to watch the sunrise. ("To watch the sunrise" indicates the time at which we woke up early.)3. Infinitives as adjectives:Infinitives can also act as adjectives, providing information about nouns. They usually come after the noun they modify. Let's seesome examples of infinitives used as adjectives:- She bought a dress to wear to the party. ("To wear to the party" describes the dress.)- He is looking for a car to drive on weekends. ("To drive on weekends" describes the car.)- They hired a teacher to help with their studies. ("To help with their studies" describes the teacher.)4. Infinitives in imperative sentences:Infinitives are often used in imperative sentences to give commands, instructions, or advice. In these cases, the word "to" is often omitted. Let's look at some examples:- Eat your vegetables! (Here, "eat" is the infinitive used as a command.)- Study hard to succeed. ("Study hard" is the imperative sentence with an infinitive as advice.)- Take a deep breath to relax. ("Take a deep breath" is the instruction with an infinitive.)In conclusion, infinitives have a wide range of uses in the English language. They can act as noun phrases, adverbs, adjectives, or be used in imperative sentences. Understanding how to use infinitives effectively can greatly enhance one's ability to express thoughts, intentions, and actions in a variety of contexts. So, practice using infinitives in your writing and speech to improve your overall English language skills.。
