二、动词不定式作主语
1.动词不定式作主语时,一般表示具体的或一次性的动作。作主语的动词不定式有时态和语态的变化,且谓语动词常用单数。
To make up for lost time is not possible.
要弥补失去的时光是不可能的。
2.若动词不定式太长,则往往用it代替动词不定式作形式主语,动词不定式移至谓语之后,以使句子结构平衡。
其常见句型有以下3种:
①It+is+名词+to do sth
It’s our duty to take good care of the old.
照顾老人是我们的责任。
②It takes sb+some time+to do sth
How long did it take you to finish the work?
你花了多长时间来完成这项工作?
③It+be+形容词+for/of sb+to do sth

你把老师说的所有东西都记下来的行为是很愚蠢的。
④It seems (appears)+形容词+to do sth
It seemed impossible to finish the work on time.
看上去不可能按时完成这项工作。
三、动词不定式作表语
动词不定式作表语说明主语的具体内容,且有“即将进行的一次性动作或将来的状态”的特征。
1.表示“目的、愿望、梦想、需求”等的名词(短语、从句)作主语时,其表语应用动词不定式。
Her greatest wish is to see her parents again.
她最大的愿望是能够再见到父母。
2.动词不定式作表语通常可以和主语位置互换。
My dream is to be a doctor.=To be a doctor is my dream.
我的梦想是成为一名医生。
3.当主语部分含有实义动词do的某种形式时,作表语的动词不定式可以省略to。
