主动语态 被动语态
一般式 to do to be done
进行式 to be doing
完成式 to have done to have been done

1.当修饰的名词是ability, ambition, attempt, chance, courage, desire, decision, effort, failure, moment, promise, right, time, wish … (一些表示企图、努力、愿望、打算、能力等意义的名词)
只能用动词不定式做定语的情况
例:
1. He was the first one to think of the idea.
2. You are the only person to be late.
3. The manager is the last to come to the meeting.
2.当修饰的名词前有the only, the next, the best, the first, the last, 以及由序数词或形容词最高级修饰的名词常常用不定式作定语。

不定式作状语,用来修饰动词、形容词和副词。

目的状语:to do; in order to do, so as to do, so/ such…as to do, etc.
※ 不定式作目的状语时, 其动作通常迟于谓语动词的动作。
例:
