动词不定式

百科内容来自于:

不定式是一种非限定性动词。而非限定动词是指那些在句中不能单独充当谓语的动词，可分为不定式，动名词，现在分词和过去分词。它具有动词的性质，本身可以带宾语和状语。动词不定式在句中可以作句子任何成分。动词不定式的被动形式除了一般形式外还有其完成式和进行式。

简介

1.不定式定义:
不定式是一种非限定性动词。而非限定动词是指那些在句中不能单独充当谓语的动词，可分为不定式，动名词，现在分词和过去分词。
2.用途：
在句中不能作谓语。它具有动词的性质，本身可以带宾语和状语。
3.形式：
动词 + 不定式:由to＋动词原形构成。
afford  aim   appear  agree  arrange  ask   be    decide bother  care  choose   come    dare   demand desire  determine     expect   elect  endeavor     hope       fail  happen  help  hesitate learn  long   mean   manage  offer  ought   plan  prepare pretend   promise refuse seem   tend   wait    wish     undertake
动词不定式在句中可以作句子任何成分。动词不定式的被动形式除了一般形式外还有其完成式和进行式。

时态语态

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。这一使动者我们称之为 逻辑主语，其形式如下：
主动形式 被动形式
一般式 （not） to make （not） to be made
完成式 （not） to have made （not） to have been made
进行式 （not） to be making
完成进行式 （not） to have been making
(1)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.)
(2)时态
1) 现在时：一般现在时表示的动词，有时与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生，有时发生在谓语动词的动作之后。
He seems to know this.
I hope to see you again. = I hope that I'll see you again.　我希望再见到你。
2) 完成时：表示的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前。
I'm sorry to have given you so much trouble.
He seems to have caught a cold.
3) 进行时： 表示动作正在进行，与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生。
He seems to be eating something.
4) 完成进行时：
She is known to have been wreaking on the problem for many years.

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. （不定式在句子中做主语）
②Mr. Smith didn't know whether to leave or stay there. （不定式在句子中做宾语）
③I asked Professor Xu how to learn English well. （不定式在句子中做间接宾语）
④The question was where to get the medicine needed. （不定式在句子中表语）
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。

语法功能

一、作主语
动词不定式作主语时，句子的谓语动词常用单数，其位置有以下两种：
(1)把不定式置于句首。如：
To get there by bike will take us half an hour.
(2)用it作形式主语，把真正的主语不定式置于句后，常用于下列句式中。如：
①It＋be＋名词＋to do
It's our duty to take good care of the old.
②It takes sb+some time+to do
How long did it take you to finish the work?
③It＋be＋形容词＋for sb＋to do
It is difficult for us to finish writing the compositionin a quarter of an hour.
④It＋be＋形容词＋of sb＋to do
It is stupid of you to write down everything the teachersays.
⑤It seems(appears)＋形容词＋to do
It seemed impossible to save money.
在句型③中，常用表示客观情况的形容词，如：difficult,easy,hard,important,impossible,necessary 等；在句型④中，常用careless,clever,good,foolish,honest,kind,lazy,nice,right,silly,stupid,wise等 表示赞扬或批评的词。在不定式前的sb，可看作其逻辑主语。这一句式有时相当于Sb is＋形容词＋to do句式 ，如：It'skind of you to help me with my English.=You are kind to helpme with my English.
(3)举例
1） It's easy (for me) to do that.我做这事太容易了
easy,　difficult,　hard,　important,　possible,　impossible,　comfortable,　necessary,　better;　
the first,　the next,　the last,　the best,　too much,　too little,　not enough
It's so nice to hear your voice.
听到你的声音真高兴。
It's necessary for you to lock the car when you do not use it.

Kind,　nice,　stupid,　rude,　clever,　foolish,　thoughtful,　thoughtless,　brave,　considerate(考虑周到的),　silly,　selfish(自私的)
例句:

It seemed selfish of him not to give them anything.　他不给他们任何东西，这显得太自私了。
注意：1) 其他系动词如，look，appear等也可用于此句型
2) 不定式作为句子成分时，动词用单数形式。
3) 当不定式作主语的句子中又有一个不定式作表语时，不能用It is… to…的句型
(对)To see is to believe.　百闻不如一见。
(错)It is to believe to see.
二、作宾语

4)以下动词后，只能跟不定式作宾语。
如：agree,ask,aim,arrange,choose,decide,demand,expect,fail ,help,hope,lean,long,manage,offer,plan,prepare,
pretend,promise,refuse,wish 等，这些词大部分可接that引导的从句。如：

5)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。如：

A. to invent　B. inventing　C. to have invented　D. having invented　
答案：A. 由consider to dosth. 排除B、D。. 此句只说明发明这一个事实，不定式后用原形即可。而C为现在完成时，发明为点动词一般不用完成时，且此处也不强调对现在的影响，因此不选C。
3) to be +形容词
Seem,　appear,　be said,　be supposed,　be believed,　be thought,　be known,　be reported,　hope, wish,　desire,　want,　plan,　expect,　mean…

Mary took him as her father .　玛丽把他当作自己的父亲。
四、作表语
不定式作表语表示具体动作或将来动作；动名词作表语表示抽象的一般行为。
①To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to the people.
②My chief purpose is to point out the difficulties ofthe matter.
③What I would suggest is to put off the meeting.
当主语和表语都是不定式时，其含义一是条件，一是结果（例①）。当主语是aim,duty,hope,idea,mista ke,plan,purpose,suggestion等为中心词的名词词组（例②）时，或以what引导的名词性分句（例③），不定 式说明主语的内容。
④Our work is serving the people.
⑤What he likes is taking a walk after supper.
⑥The story told by Mr.Wang is interesting.
④⑤句动名词作表语，与主语部分可以转换，如Serving thepeople is our work,而⑥句中是现在分词作 表语，说明主语的性质、状态，现在分词具有形容词的各种特征，另外，动名词作表语还应与进行时态区别开 来。
五、作状语
1）目的状语　
To… only to (仅仅为了),　in order to,　so as to,　so(such)… as to… (如此……以便……)
He ran so fast as to catch the first bus.　他飞快地跑以便赶上第一班车。

典型例题

A. sit　B. sit on　C. be seat　D. be sat on
答案：B.　如果不定式为不及物动词，其后应有必要的介词。当动词与介词连用时，常位于"形容词+动词不定式"结构的末尾。
六、作定语
⒈不定式作定语
不定式在句中作定语，置于被修饰的名词或代词之后。如：
①The next train to arrive is from Washington.
②Have you anything to be taken to your sister?
③Do you have anything to say on the question?
④Would you please give me some paper to write on?
⑤My wish to visit France has come true at last.
不定式短语作定语和被修饰词之间表示以下关系：
(1)表示将来的动作（例①）。
(2)与被修饰词之间有动宾关系，如是不及物动词，则需加介词（例④）。
(3)与被修饰词之间有动宾关系，同时与句中其它词之间又有逻辑上的主谓关系时，尽管有被动含义，却仍 用主动语态（例③）；如只有动宾关系，而无逻辑上的主谓关系，则需用被动语态（例②）。
(4)不定式作定语时，一般可转换为定语从句，例①to arrive=that will arrive。

不定式

 

不定式的全称是“动词不定式”，是一种非限定动词，由不定式符号to+动词原形构成。不定式具有动词的特征，同时也有名词、形容词和副词的特征。 动词不定式是一种非限定性动词，由to＋动词原形构成，但它还是属于动词，所以它本身可以带宾语和状语。动词不定式在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、定语和状语，还可用在复合结构中，而且有完成式、进行式、完成进行式和否定形式。动词不定式的被动形式除了一般形式外还有其完成式和进行式。

　　b.　We believe him to be guilty.

　　我们相信他是有罪的。

　　Find 的特殊用法：

　　Find 后可用分词做宾补，或先加形式宾语，再加形容词，最后加带to 的动词不定式。find后也可带一个从句。此类动词还有get，have。

　　I found him lying on the ground.

　　It seemed selfish of him not to give them anything.　他不给他们任何东西，这显得太自私了。

　　注意：

　　1) 其他系动词如，look，appear等也可用于此句型。

　　2) 不定式作为句子成分时，动词用单数形式。

　　3) 当不定式作主语的句子中又有一个不定式作表语时，不能用It is… to…的句型

　　(对)To see is to believe.　百闻不如一见。

　　(错)It is to believe to see.

编辑本段四、作表语

　　不定式可放在系动词（例如be动词）后面，形成表语。例如：

　　My work is to clean the room every day.

　　His dream is to be a doctor.

编辑本段五、作定语

　　不定式作表语表示具体动作或将来动作；动名词作表语表示抽象的一般行为。

　　①To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to the people.

　　②My chief purpose is to point out the difficulties ofthe matter.

　　③What I would suggest is to put off the meeting.

　　当主语和表语都是不定式时，其含义一是条件，一是结果（例①）。当主语是aim,duty,hope,idea,mista ke,plan,purpose,suggestion等为中心词的名词词组（例②）时，或以what引导的名词性分句（例③），不定 式说明主语的内容。

　　④Our work is serving the people.

　　⑤What he likes is taking a walk after supper.

　　⑥The story told by Mr.Wang is interesting.

　　④⑤句动名词作表语，与主语部分可以转换，如Serving thepeople is out work,而⑥句中是现在分词作 表语，说明主语的性质、状态，现在分词具有形容词的各种特征，另外，动名词作表语还应与进行时态区别开 来。

编辑本段六、作状语

　　1）目的状语　

　　To… only to (仅仅为了),　in order to,　so as to,　so(such)… as to… (如此……以便……)

　　He ran so fast as to catch the first bus.　他飞快地跑以便赶上第一班车。

　　I come here only to say good-bye to you.　我来仅仅是向你告别。

　　2）作结果状语，表事先没有预料到的，要放在句子后面。

　　　What have I said to make you angry.

　　He searched the room only to find nothing.

　　3)　表原因

　　I'm glad to see you.

　　典型例题

　　The chair looks rather hard, but in fact it is very comfortable to ___.　

　　A. sit　B. sit on　C. be seat　D. be sat on

　　答案：B.　如果不定式为不及物动词，其后应有必要的介词。当动词与介词连用时，常位于"形容词+动词不定式"结构的末尾。





编辑本段八、 动词不定式的否定式

　　Tell him not to shut the window…　

　　She pretended not to see me when I passed by. 我走过的时候，她假装没看见。

　　典型例题

　　1）Tell him ___ the window.　

　　A. to shut not　B. not to shut　C. to not shut

　　D. not shut　

　　答案：B。 tell sb to do sth 的否定形式为tell sb not to do sth.

　　2)　She pretended ___ me when I passed by.　

　　A.　not to see　B. not seeing　C. to not see

　　D.　having not seen　

　　答案：A。 pretend 后应接不定式。其否定形式为pretend not to do sth.。

　　3）Mrs. Smith warned her daughter ___ after drinking.　

　　A. never to drive　B. to never driver　

　　C. never driving　D. never drive　

　　答案：A。warn sb to do sth. 的否定形式为warn sb not to do sth. 此处用的是否定词never.

　　4) The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street，but his mother told him ____.　

　　A. not to　B. not to do　C. not do it　

　　D. do not to

　　答案：A。not to 为not to do it 的省略形式。可以只用to这个词，而不必重复整个不定式词组。及物动词do后应有名词、代词等，否则不对，因此B，D不对。

　　5) The patient was warned ___ oily food after the operation.　

　　A. to eat no　B. eating not　C. not to eat　

　　D. not eating

　　答案：C。warn一词要求后用不定式，此处为不定式的被动，否定形式为be warned not to do。

编辑本段九、不定式的特殊句型too…to…

　　1）too…to　太…以至于…

　　He is too excited to speak.

　　他太激动了，说不出话来。

　　---- Can I help you ? 需要我帮忙吗?

　　---- Well, I'm afraid the box is too heavy for you to carry it, but thank you all the same.　不用了。这箱子太重，恐怕你搬不动。谢谢您。

　　2) 如在too前有否定词，则整个句子用否定词表达肯定， too 后那个词表达一种委婉含义，意为"不太"。

　　It's never too late to mend.　(谚语)

　　改过不嫌晚。（亡羊补牢，为时不晚）

　　3)　当too 前面有only, all, but时，意思是：非常… 等于very。

　　I'm only too pleased to be able to help you. 我非常高兴能帮助你。

　　He was but too eager to get home. 他非常想回家。

　　Tom kept quiet about the accident so as not to lose his job.　

　　汤姆对事故保持沉默是为了不丢掉他的工作。

　　Go in quietly so as not to wake the baby.

　　轻点进去，别惊醒了婴儿。

　　2)　so kind as to ---劳驾

　　Would you be so kind as to tell me the time?

　　劳驾，现在几点了。

　　2、 "Why not +动词原形"表达向某人提出建议

　　"为什么不……?" "干吗不……?"

　　例如：

　　Why not take a holiday?

　　干吗不去度假?

　　3、It's for sb.和 It's of sb.

　　1）for sb. 常用于表示事物的特征特点，表示客观形式的形容词，如easy, hard, difficult,　interesting, impossible等：

　　It's very hard for him to study two languages. 对他来说学两门外语是很难的。

　　2）of sb的句型一般用表示人物的性格，品德，表示主观感情或态度的形容词，如good, kind, nice, clever, foolish, right。

　　It's very nice of you to help me. 你来帮助我，你真是太好了。

　　for 与of 的辨别方法：

　　用介词后面的代词作主语，用介词前边的形容词作表语，造个句子。如果道理上通顺用of，不通则用for。如：

　　You are nice.　(通顺，所以应用of)。

　　He is hard.　(人是困难的，不通，因此应用for。)

　　4、不定式的特殊句型too…to…

　　1）too…to　太…以至于…

　　He is too excited to speak.

　　他太激动了，说不出话来。

　　---- Can I help you ? 需要我帮忙吗?

　　---- Well, I'm afraid the box is too heavy for you to carry it, but thank you all the same.　不用了。这箱子太重，恐怕你搬不动。谢谢您。

　　2) 如在too前有否定词，则整个句子用否定词表达肯定， too 后那个词表达一种委婉含义，意 为"不太"。

　　It's never too late to mend.　(谚语)

　　改过不嫌晚。（亡羊补牢，为时不晚）

　　3)　当too 前面有only, all, but时，意思是：非常… 等于very。

　　I'm only too pleased to be able to help you. 我非常高兴能帮助你。

　　He was but too eager to get home. 他非常想回家。

编辑本段注意区别用作介词的to

　　to 有两种用法： 一为不定式+动词原形； 一为介词+名词/动名词, to 在下面的用法中是第二种，即to+ 名词/动名词：

　　admit to承认，confess to承认，be accustomed to 习惯于，be used to 习惯于， stick to 坚持， turn to开始，着手于， devote oneself to 献身于，　be devoted to 致力于， look forward to 盼望，pay attention to 注意

编辑本段省to 的动词不定式

　　2） 使役动词 let, have, make：

　　3） 感官动词 see, watch, look at, notice , observe, hear, listen to, smell, feel, find 等后作宾补，省略to。

　　注意：在被动语态中则to 不能省掉。

　　I saw him dance.

　　=He was seen to dance.

　　The boss made them work the whole night.

　　=They were made to work the whole night.

　　4） would rather，had better：

　　A. learn　B. to learn　C. learned　D. learning

　　答案：B. make后接不带to 的动词不定式，当其用于被动时，to 不可省略。

编辑本段动名词与不定式的特殊用法

　　1） 动名词与不定式的区别：　

　　动名词表达的是： 状态，性质，心境，抽象，经常性，已发生的　不定式表达的是： 目的，结果，原因，具体，一次性，将发生的

　　A. turning it off　B. turn it off　C. to turn it off　D. having turned
