動(dòng)詞不定式
    不定式是指帶to的動(dòng)詞原形(使用中有時(shí)不帶to),在句中起形容詞或副詞的作用,可以作定語(yǔ)和狀語(yǔ)。
    1) 作定語(yǔ)
    (1) 動(dòng)詞不定式與其修飾的詞之間往往有動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,如果該不定式是不及物動(dòng)詞,其后有必要的介詞。例如:
    He’s a pleasant fellow to work with.
    There’s nothing to worry about.
    (2) 有些名詞后常跟不定式作定語(yǔ)。例如:time, reason, chance, right, ability, willingness, need, anxiety, wish, plan等。例如:
    Women should have the right to receive education.
    There is no time to hesitate.
    (3)the first, the second, the last, the best等之后用不定式做定語(yǔ)。例如:
    The monitor will be the first to come.
    He was the last man to blame.
    2) 作狀語(yǔ)
    (1) 作目的狀語(yǔ)。
    不定式作狀語(yǔ)時(shí),其動(dòng)作發(fā)生在謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之后,一般置于句子末尾。但是,如果表示強(qiáng)調(diào),亦可置于句首。其否定形式為:在不定式符號(hào)前加not。例如:
    He went to Shanghai to visit his parents.
    To save the earth, we must prevent the earth from being polluted.
    I shut the door quietly, so as not to wake the baby.
    (2) 作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)。例如:
    We came home after our holiday to find our garden neat and tidy.
    She left home, never to return again.
    (3) 作原因狀語(yǔ)
    不定式做原因狀語(yǔ)時(shí),一般放在句子末尾。例如:
    She burst into laughter to see his funny action.
    The boy was shocked to see the frightening scene.
    (4) 有些固定詞組帶to不定式,表明說(shuō)話人的立場(chǎng)或態(tài)度,在句子做獨(dú)立成分。這些詞有:to be honest, to begin with, to cut a long story short, to get (back) to the point, not to make much of it, to put it another way, to tell the truth等。例如:
    To tell you the truth, I have never been to Beijing.
    To be honest, I have never heard of Winston Churchill.
