[语法精讲]
一、理解概念
动词不定式是非谓语动词的一种形式,其结构是“to+动词原形”,否定形式为“not+to+动词原形”。动词不定式在句中不充当谓语,不受主语的限制,但有时态和语态的变化。to do 的完成形式为to have done, 表示该动作发生在谓动词之前。to do 的被动形式为to be done。 动词不定式具有动词的特点,可以带有自己的宾语和状语。
二、语法规则
动词不定式具有名词、形容词和副词的特征,在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语和宾语补足语等多种成分。
不定式通常在句中作后置定语,即放在被修饰的名词或代词后。它通常有以下几种用法:
(1)动词不定式作定语常放在名词或不定代词后面作后置定语,表示尚未发生的动作。常用的句型有
Sb. have sth. to do 和 There be sth. to do.
不定式作定语
The boy had some chips and cheese to eat this morning.
今天早上这个男孩只有一些薯片和奶酪可以吃。
There are diverse activities for visitors to experience during the ethnic cultural festival.
在民族文化节期间,游客可以体验丰富多彩的活动。
(2)名词前有first,last,next,only等词以及最高级修饰时,其后要用动词不定式。
Though James was the first person to reach the appointed place, he was the last one to finish the mission. However, he was the only one to do it as required.
尽管詹姆斯是第一个抵达指定地点的人,但他却是最后一个完成任务的人。然而,他是唯一 一位按照要求完成此事的人。
Lily was the most suitable person to take this position.
莉莉是最适合担任这一职位的人选。
(3)抽象名词attempt,ability,chance,desire,determination,decision,plan,way或不定代词something,nothing等后面常用不定式作后置定语。

Seeing the graffiti on the wall, I really had nothing to say. 看到墙上的涂鸦,我实在无话可说。
(4)当名词与定语之间存在主谓关系时。

我们必须挑一个做这份工作的人。
点拨:
如果不定式是不及物动词,后面就应有必要的介词。

不定式作状语表示目的、原因、结果等,表示原因、结果时一般不置于句首。

不定式作状语
表示目的
点拨:作目的状语的不定式前,常加上in order或so as,但so as不能位于句首。to do 作目的状语,放在句首时,常常用逗号隔开,而用在句中时,一般不用逗号隔开。
总结:动词不定式作状语表示结果时常用如下结构:
so+形容词/副词+as to do如此……以致……
such+形容词+名词+as to do如此……以致……
enough+名词+to do / 形容词/副词+enough+to do足够……
too+形容词/副词+to do太……以致不能……
