2.句4为动词不定式作 定语 。
3.句5为动词不定式作 表语 。
一、动词不定式的特征与构成
动词不定式由“to+动词原形”构成。这里的to是不定式标志,无意义,有时可省略。其否定形式为“not+动词不定式”。不定式既有名词、形容词或副词的某些语法功能,又有动词的时态和语态的特点及作用。动词不定式在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、宾语补足语、定语和状语。
以do为例,动词不定式的时态和语态构成如下:
主动语态
被动语态
意义
一般时
to do
to be done
表示动作与谓语动作同时发生或发生在谓语动作之后
完成时
to have done
to have been
done
表示动作发生在谓语动作之前
进行时
to be doing
表示谓语动作发生时,不定式的动作正在进行
完成
进行时
to have been
doing
表示动作发生在谓语动作之前且一直持续到谓语动作发生时仍在进行

(1)I am really honoured to be invited (invite) to attend this global meeting.
(2) To finish (finish) the task on time, we worked day and night.
(3)I want to have a separate room to live (live) in.
(4)Do you have the ability to read (read) and write English?
二、动词不定式作定语
1.动词不定式常常放在抽象名词attempt, ability, courage, chance, desire, determination, decision, effort, plan, way或不定代词something, nothing等后面作后置定语。
►We must have the courage to face the challenge.
我们必须有面对挑战的勇气。
►Do you have anything to say?
你有什么要说的吗?
2.动词不定式常用来修饰被序数词、最高级或no, all, any等限定的中心词。
►They are always the first to bear hardships, the last to enjoy comforts.
他们总是吃苦在前,享乐在后。
►It is recognized that he is the best man to do the job.人们公认他是做这项工作的最佳人选。
3.构成动词不定式的动词与被修饰词之间的关系
(1)主谓关系:被修饰词是动词不定式动作的发出者。此时的动词不定式在意义上相当于一个定语从句。
►We need someone to help with the work.
=We need someone that can help with the work.
我们需要有人来帮忙做这项工作。
(2)动宾关系:被修饰词是动词不定式动作的承受者。
►There are many interesting things to see there.那里有许多有趣的东西可以看。
【特别注意】
①不定式为不及物动词时,所修饰的名词如果是地点、工具等,应有必要的介词。如果不定式修饰time/place/way可以省略介词。
►He found a good house to live in.
他找到了一个适宜居住的好房子。
►The child has nothing to worry about.
这个孩子无忧无虑。
►He has no place to live.他无处安身。
②如果不定式所修饰的名词是不定式动作的承受者,不定式可用主动式也可用被动式,但含义有所不同。
►Have you got anything to send?
你要送什么东西吗? (send的发出者是you)
►Have you got anything to be sent? 你有什么东西需要送吗? (send的发出者是其他人)
③动词不定式和所修饰的名词之间有逻辑上的动宾关系,并且句子中有名词或代词可以充当该动词不定式的逻辑主语时,要用动词不定式的主动形式表达被动含义;若句子中没有名词或代词可以充当该动词不定式的逻辑主语时,则用动词不定式的被动形式。
►There are five pairs to choose from, but I'm at a loss which to buy.有五双可以选择,但是我不知道该买哪一个。(choose from 与pairs之间有逻辑上的动宾关系, to choose from的逻辑主语是I)
►His first book to be published next month is based on a true story.他下个月将要出版的第一本书是根据真实故事改编的。(publish与book之间有逻辑上的动宾关系,且句子中无动词不定式的逻辑主语)
(3)修饰关系:动词不定式对所修饰的词起到补充、说明的作用。这些被修饰词一般为wish, way, chance, ability, decision, attempt, reason等。
►You should grasp the ability to solve the complex problems.
你应该掌握解决复杂问题的能力。
►There are varieties of ways to make others laugh.有很多方法逗人们笑。
[提示] 动词不定式作定语有时也表示一种将来的动作。
►We are invited to a party to be held in our club next Friday.我们受邀参加下周五在我们俱乐部举办的派对。

(3)The airport to be completed (complete) next year will help promote tourism in this area.
(4)The ability to express (express) an idea is as important as the idea itself.
三、动词不定式作状语
(1)不定式作原因状语,多用在某些表示“喜、怒、哀、乐”等的形容词后。
►I'm very glad to be invited to attend the meeting.我很高兴被邀请参加这个会议。
(2)不定式作目的状语,可与so as to/in order to替换,但so as to一般不可置于句首。
►To/In order to catch the early bus, I got up early this morning.
→I got up early this morning to/in order to/so as to catch the early bus.
为了赶早班车,我今天早上起得很早。
(3)动词不定式作结果状语,常表示“令人意想不到”的结果。动词不定式前有时可以加上only或but only,以加强语气。
►I went to see him, only to learn that he had left the city the night before.
我去看他,却得知他已经在前夜离开了这个城市。
