二、动词不定式的句法功能

不定式作主语时的主谓一致原则。

提醒 为了避免句子头重脚轻,常用it作形式主语,动词不定式作句子真正的主语,常用于以下结构:
(1)It+is/was+ adj. +for sb. to do sth.
(用for sb.时,形容词修饰to do sth.。常用于修饰事或物的形容词有: easy, difficult, hard, important, possible, impossible, comfortable等)
Its difficult for him to give up smoking.
=To give up smoking is difficult for him.
戒烟对于他来说太难了。
(2)It+is/was+adj.+of sb. to do sth.
(用of sb.时,形容词修饰sb.。常用于修饰人的品质的形容词有: nice, stupid, rude, clever, foolish, thoughtful, thoughtless, brave, considerate, silly等)
Its very kind of you to help me.
=You are very kind to help me.
你能帮助我真是太好了。
(3)It + is/was+名词 +to do sth.
Its our duty to take good care of the old.
=To take good care of the old is our duty.
照顾好老人是我们的责任。
2.动词不定式作表语
动词不定式作表语时,放在系动词后面,表示将来的动作或解释说明主语的内容;主语常是wish, idea, task, purpose, duty, aim, hope, plan, dream 等表示意向、打算、计划的词。
Your task today is to wash the curtains.
你今天的任务是洗窗帘。
