作定语

常接不定式作定语的词:

  • ability, ambition, eagerness, freedom, willingness, need, courage, decision, desire, failure, promise, refusal, wish, chance, opportunity, right, time, way, the first, the second, the last, the only, 形容词最高级

与被修饰名词有动宾关系时,不定式可用主动表被动。

  • He is a man to depend on.
  • Would you give me some paper to write on?

与分词作定语的区别:

  • to do / to be done(将来)
  • doing / being done(进行/主语/事本身)
  • done (条件)

作状语

  1. 目的状语:
    • 逻辑主语须与主句主语一致
  2. 结果状语:
    • so … as to …, such … as to …
    • too … to …(only, all, but + too 表示“非常”)
    • only to …, never to …(意外结果)
      • He hurried to the room only to find nobody there.

不定式的特殊用法与考点

  1. 不定式作主语的重要句型

    • It is + adj. + (of/for sb.) to do sth.
      • of:用于描述人的品质(kind, rude, clever 等)
      • for:用于描述事物特征(important, difficult 等)

    You are adj.说得通且意思一致用of

    • It is + n. (a pleasure / an honor / a pity) + to do sth.

    • It takes sb. … to do sth.

  2. 不定式完成式表示“本想做但未做”

    • 动词:hope, expect, intend, mean, want 等
      • I intended to have called on you. = I had intended to call on you.
  3. 介词后不定式:but / except

    • 前面有 do → 省略 to
    • 前面无 do → 保留 to
    • He had no choice but to turn to the driver for help.
    • Sandy could do nothing but admit his mistake.
  4. 主语含 do 时,表语不定式省略 to

    • What we need to do now is take some measures.
  5. 疑问词 + to do

    • 相当于名词,作主语、宾语、表语
      • How to solve the problem will be discussed.
  6. 不定式主动表被动

    • 在 have / there be / with 结构中:There is a lot of work to do.
    • 在表性质的形容词后(easy, hard, difficult 等):He is hard to talk to.

    在前加for sb.

  7. 不定式固定句型

    • Why do? / Why not do?
    • There is no need to do …
    • prefer to do … rather than do …
    • had better do / would rather do
    • 插入语:to be honest, to tell the truth, to make things worse 等
  8. 不定式在被动结构中的用法

    • sb./sth. be said / known / reported / supposed / thought / considered to do / to be doing / to have done
    • sb./sth. seems / appears / happens / proves to do …
  9. 不定式的省略

    • 在 expect, prefer, like, mean, want, forget, wish, hope, try, be glad 等后,用 to 代替整个不定式
    • 若动词为 be 或 have been,则 to 不可省略
      • —Are you a teacher? —I want to be.
      • —Have you finished? —I hope to have.
  10. 不定式作评注性状语(插入语)

    • 不修饰句中具体成分,表示说话者的态度或评价,常用逗号隔开。
    • 常见: to be honest, to be frank, to make things worse, to begin with, to sum up, to be brief, to be exact, to cut a long story short, to put it simply, to make matters worse, to conclude
