The usage of infinitives(1)
不定式to do 的用法
Rule 1: n.+ to do, to do 作后置定语修饰名词
动词不定式作定语一般都是作后置定语,修饰前面的名词或代词,来解释某一事物的功能或用途。
不定式作定语应注意:
I give her a newspaper to read.
(不能说 I gave her a newspaper to read it.)
1.如果名词或代词是动词不定式的宾语,动词不定式后不加宾格代词。
He had no money and no place to live.
2.在动词不定式与其所修饰的词构成逻辑上的动宾关系的情况下,若该动词为不及物动词,其后应加上相应的介词。
1) I am looking for a room to live in.
2) I need a piece of paper to write on.
3) There is nothing to worry about.
3.动词不定式作定语且所修饰的名词是time, place或way时,其后的介词通常省略。

动词不定式作表语的一些用法:
主语为aim,dream,hope,idea,plan,purpose, suggestion,wish等表示目的、计划或打算的词。
如: His wish/dream is to become an astronaut.
当句子的主语为work,job或function时,往往也使用这一结构。
如: The man’s job was to give advice to the king.
The function of an adjective is to describe or add to
the meaning of a noun.

The usage of infinitives(3)
不定式to do 的用法
主语
To see is to believe.
To know oneself is difficult.
动词不定式作主语
动词不定式作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数。
To walk in the heavy rain is very hard.
= It is very hard to walk in the heavy rain.
在大雨中行走是非常困难的。
动词不定式作主语
it作形式主语
当动词不定式比较长时,为了保持句子的平衡,常用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语放在句子后面,即:“It +谓语+其它+ to do sth.”。
真正主语
it 作形式主语时,主要有三种情况:
1) It is important for us to keep the water clean.
1.常用形容词作它的表语。真正的主语(动词不定式部分)常有逻辑主语,一般用for短语来表示,即for sb. to do sth. (其中sb.就是to do的逻辑主语)。
2) It is very kind of you to say so.
当表语形容词表示不定式的逻辑主语的性质或特征时,则不用for,而用of (sb. to do sth.)。
1) It took me more than an hour to do my homework yesterday evening.
2) It will take us a long time to walk there.
2.有时也接名词作表语。
It must be great fun to fly to the Moon in a spaceship.
3.it作形式主语时,还用于“It takes/took /will take sb. some time to do sth”的句型中。
1. To be a scientist is meaningful for me.
2. To listen to your lecture is a pleasure .
3. To help people live to be 1,000 years old will take you a long time.
