1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上动词不定式用法讲解1、 构成及特征动词不定式(infinitive)是动词的一种非限定形式，即非谓语动词形式，它有两种形式：一种是“to + 动词原形”构成（to- infinitive）；另一种是不带to的不定式,即动词原形(bare- infinitive)。所有行为动词都有不定式形式，其否定式是在不定式前加not。动词不定式（或不定式短语）没有人称和数的变化，在句子中不能作谓语。动词不定式仍保留有动词的特点：（1）可以有时式和语态的变化，也可以有自己的宾语或状语，它们一起构成了不定式短语。He tried to work out the problem in f

2、ive minutes.他试图在五分钟之内算出这道题。（带宾语和状语）The factory to be built here next year is a car factory.明年在这里建的工厂是一家汽车制造厂。（有语态的变化）（2）动词不定式还具有名词、形容词和副词的特征，在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、补语、定语、状语等成分。He wants to study English.他想学英语。（to study English在句中作want的宾语，而to study又有自己的宾语English, to study和English一起构成了不定式短语。）Never to offend an

3、yone is his principle.不得罪人是他的原则。（不定式作主语）注意：不定式在许多场合具有情态意义。作主语时，相当于一个带有情态动词的主语从句；作宾语时，相当于一个带有情态动词的宾语从句；作定语时，相当于一个带有情态动词的定语从句；作目的状语时，相当于so that 或in order that引导的目的状语从句。It is right for her to say so.(= It is right that she should say so.)她这样说是对的。He has a lot of work to do.(= that he should do)他有很多工作要做。

4、I dont know where to get the ticket.(= where I could get the ticket.)我不知道哪里能买到票。She opened the door for the children to come in.(= so that the children might come in)她打开门目的是让孩子进来。2、动词不定式的时态和语态动词不定式有一般式、进行式、完成式、完成进行式四种时态变化形式，一般式和完成式有被动语态变化形式。主动语态 被动语态一般式 to write to be written进行式 to be writing完成式 to

5、have written to have been written完成进行式 to have been writing（1）不定式的时态意义不定式的时态是以句中谓语动词的时间为依据的。不定式的一般式不定式的一般式表示的动作或状态通常发生在谓语动词之后或同时发生。They made plans to live in Paris.他们计划住在巴黎。（to live 发生在 made plans之后）I heard them talk in whispers all the time at the meeting.我听见他们会议期间一直小声说话。（不定式talk与谓语动词heard同时发生）不定式的

6、进行式不定式的进行式表示其动作正在进行，与谓语动词发生的动作同时进行。He pretended to be listening to me carefully.他假装认真地听我讲。When he came in ,I happened to be reading the novel.他进来时，我碰巧正在读小说。注意：不定式的进行式常同may, might, can, could, must, need, ought to, should, will, would 等情态动词连用，表示“可能、应当或想必”正在进行的动作。You oughtnt to be talking so much. 你不应

7、该说这么多。He might be reading a novel at that time. 那时他可能正在读小说。It is good to sit here with you.(坐下来时讲这句话)It is good to be sitting here with you.(一坐在座位上时讲这句话)He is said to write a preface to the book.(表示将来)He is said to be writing a preface to the book.（表示进行）不定式的完成式不定式的完成时表达下列意义：a. 不定式的完成式所表示的动作或状态发生在谓语动

8、词所表示的动作之前。I am sorry to have kept you waiting.对不起，让你久等了。（to have kept发生在I am sorry所表示的时间之前）She is said to have just completed a novel.据说她刚完成一部小说。（to have just completed a novel发生在She is said所表示的时间之前）b. 用在intended, expected, meant, hoped, promised, planned, wished, thought, desired, was, were等词后，不定式的

9、完成式表示未曾实现的愿望、期待、想法、打算或计划等。to have + 过去分词表示动作， to have been表示状态。I meant to have done the work before Sunday.我本想星期天前完成这项工作。（没完成）I was to have been a doctor.我本打算当个医生。（没当成）I intended to have come to see you.我本打算来看你的。(但没来)C .用在seem, appear, thing, consider, believe等后，表示一个动作先于另一个动作发生。I seem to have seen h

10、er somewhere before.以前我好像在那见过她。（see在seem之前发生）He was believed to have been a reporter.都认为他从前干过记者。比较：She seems to have been ill.= It seems that she has been ill.她似乎病了。She seemed to have been ill.= It seemed that she had been ill.她似乎过去生过病。d. 在should(would) like 或should(would)have like后用不定式完成式表示没有实现的愿望。

11、I should like to have gone with her.我多么愿意和她一起去。（但没去）I would like to have seen her face when she read the letter.我真想见到她读信时的表情。（但没看到）不定式的完成进行式表示动作在谓语动词之前发生，而且一直进行着。He was happy to have been staying with his uncle.他很高兴一直跟他叔叔住在一起。He looked too young to have been publishing books for six years.他看上去很年轻，不像

12、已经出版了6年书的人。 come + 不定式表示一个动作发生的过程He will come to understand it in the end.他最终会懂得的。Later he came to be a famous painter.后来他成了著名的画家。（2）动词不定式的被动语态如果不定式的逻辑主语是不定式动作的执行者不定式用主动式；如果不定式的逻辑主语是不定式动作的承受者时，不定式用被动语态。The doctor recommended him to air the room.医生建议他让房间透透气。（主动式）The doctor recommended the room to be

13、aired. 医生建议让房间透透气。（被动式）The sports meeting on the weekend has to be put off.周末的运动会被迫推迟。（被动式）What is to be done next?下一步干什么？（被动式）（3）意义上被动形式上主动的不定式 在“there be+主语”中，不定式用作定语修饰名词或代词，并同所修饰的名词或代词是逻辑上的动宾关系。There is no time to lose.一点时间也不能浪费了。There are a lot of clothes to wash.有许多衣服要洗。There is nothing to do a

14、t the moment. 暂时无事可做。在“名词（代词） be easy(difficult, fit等形容词) 不定式”结构中，有时尽管主语是动作的承受者，不定式在意义上是被动，形式上却是主动，这时可以看成省略了动词逻辑主语for us, for me , for you 等。The book is difficult to read. 这本书很难读懂。He is not easy to get on well with. 他不易相处。如果不定式逻辑主语是不定式动作的执行者，不定式和它修饰的名词虽然在逻辑上有动宾关系，也必须用主动形式，因为逻辑主语同不定式的关系更为直接。Weve got

15、plenty to eat.我们有足够的东西吃。（句子主语We在逻辑上是不定式to eat动作的执行者，不定式to eat和它修饰的名词plenty在逻辑上是动宾关系，用主动形式表示被动意义。）Most people have some similar experience to remember. 大多数人都有一些相似的体会值得记忆。（句子主语Most people在逻辑上是不定式to remember动作的执行者，不定式to remember和它修饰的名词experience在逻辑上是动宾关系，用主动形式表示被动意义。）注意：不定式和句中主语或其它成分如果不是逻辑上的主谓关系，不定式仍宜用

16、被动形式。He described the black slaves to be sold at auction.他描写了那些被拍卖出售的黑人奴隶。We thought the meeting to be held very important.我们认为即将举行的会议很重要。在too to 和enough to 结构中，不定式可用主动语态表示被动意义。The box is too heavy to carry.这个箱子太重了搬不动。The book cheap enough to buy.这本书很便宜可以买。blame的不定式作表语时，用主动语态和被动语态表示被动的意义，但含义不同。You w

17、ere to blame. （= you are at fault.）这该怪你。You were to be blamed.(= You are going to be blamed.)你要受到指责。something, little, what, much, a great deal等作句子主语，表语为to do时，不定式可用主动语态表示被动意义。A great deal of work remains to do.还有很多工作要做。What is to do tomorrow? 明天干什么？to let 表示“出租”作表语时，可用to be let形式，但含义上有些差别。This hous

18、e is to let. 此房出租。（从房屋主人的立场讲话，由于房子主人亲自向租房人说或登出广告）This house is to be let. 此房出租。(从房屋本身来说，代理人向租房人讲话)a. 不定式和它所修饰的词必须是逻辑上的动宾关系，如果是逻辑上的主谓关系，意义不是被动而是主动。They have the ability to change things for the better.他们具有使事态好转的能力。Its a picture to guide you.这是衣服可以指引你的图。b. 在同一场合，某些不定式可用主动形式或被动形式，但含义常有细微差别。主动形式经常带有一定的情

19、态意义，如可能、必要、应该等，而被动形式则不带情态意义。例如：There is nothing to see. 没有什么值得看的。（指没有东西可看）There is nothing to be seen. 什么也看不见，（指没有东西被看见）c. 如果不定式与其逻辑主语或被修饰的名词之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，而不定式中的动词是不及物动词或虽是及物动词，而其本身已经带有宾语的，则不定式后应加一个合适的介词。I have no paper to write on.我没纸写字。I need a chair to sit on.他需要一把椅子坐下。d. 下列句型必须用被动式Theres still mu

20、ch left to be described.还剩很多要描述。There is no sound to be heard.没听见声音。3、动词不定式的句法功能动词不定式具有名词、形容词和副词的特征，因此在句中可以作主语、表语、宾语补足语、定语和状语。（1）不定式作主语To make a plan first is a good idea.先制订计划是个好办法。To die for our motherland is a great honour.为祖国而死，死得光荣。不定式及不定式短语作主语时，为了平衡句子结构，可用it作形式主语，而把真正的不定式后置。It is a good idea t

21、o make a plan first .首先制订一个计划是一个好主意。Its a great pleasure to see you again.再次见到你太好了。Its bad manners to stare at a foreign guest.盯着外国人看是不礼貌的。在下列情况下只宜采用it作形式主语a. 在疑问句或感叹句中作主语的不定式。Isnt it a good idea to set up a lab of our own?建一座我们自己的实验室不是个好主意吗？How important it is to master a foreign language!掌握一门外语是多么

23、的不定式相当于一个条件从句。To love others is to be loved.

29、 question is easy to answer.这个问题很好回答。b. feel, find, judge, make, think, believe, consider等动词后如果是不定式作宾语，后面有宾语补足语时，将真正的宾语不定式放在补足语的后面，而将形式宾语it放在补语之前。He found it hard to learn maths.他发现数学很难学。I think it our duty to support the elder.我认为赡养老人是我们的义务。（4）不定式作定语不定式作定语时，需放在它所修饰的名词或代词之后。它与所修饰的名词或代词有下列关系：动宾关系Have
