一、不定式的定义:
不定式是动词的一种非限定形式,由“to+动词原形”构成,没有人称和数的变化,在句中不能独立作谓语。在句中可以作主语、宾语、宾语补足语、表语、定语、状语等。
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
完成进行式 to have been doing
动词不定式的时态和语态
The Infinitive as the attribute(不定式做定语)
The Infinitive as the attribute(不定式做定语)
动词不定式作定语通常放在名词、代词或不定代词的后面作后置定语。
动词不定式作定语一般与所修饰的名词构成主谓关系、动宾关系、或同位关系。
只能用动词不定式做定语的情况
1. Please make an effort to catch the bus.
2. He made a promise to come here on time tomorrow.
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
1. She is the first graduate to get an offer in the big company.
2. He is the only one to survive the accident.
3. He is the right person to do the job.
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。
1. Give me a pen to write with.
2. He is looking for a room to live in.
3. There is nothing to worry about.
4. Here is a piece of paper for you to write on.
四、不定式加介词作定语
作定语的动词不定式如果是不及物动词或者不定式所修饰的名词或代词是不定式动作的地点、工具等,不定式后面须有相应的介词。
1. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.
2. Please give me something to drink.
3. He will show you the right path to take.
在一些固定句型中,动词不定式作定语用主动形式表被动意义,如 have / get / give / show sth to do。
在此类句型中,不定式与前面的名词构成动宾关系,和句中另一个名词或代词构成主谓关系。
拓展与补充
①I do a lot of things. ② I drink something. ③You take the right path.
1. Do you have any clothes to wash?
2. Kids, do you have any clothes to be washed?
3. I can’t go out this afternoon, because I have many
materials to type.
4. The boss told me that he had many materials to be typed.
当不定式与前面的名词构成动宾关系,且和句中的主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系时,用主动形式表被动意义;若没有逻辑上的主谓关系且不确定逻辑主语是谁时,仍用被动语态。
Infinitive as attribute

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。
I said that to encourage him.
不定式作目的状语,可用in order to / so as to 代替,有时为了突出强调目的,还可将这个词组置于句首,但so as to一般不用于句首。
