1.动词不定式(短语)可以作句子的主语,通常位于句首,谓语动词用单数形式。
2.动词不定式作主语时,常用it作形式主语,而将动词不定式移至句末,以保持句子平衡。
it作形式主语时,有以下三种情况:
(1)常用形容词作表语。作真正的主语的动词不定式(短语)通常有逻辑主语,一般用for/of短语来表示,即“It is/was+adj.+for/of sb.+to do sth.”,其中sb.就是to do的逻辑主语。
(2)有时也接名词作表语。
(3)常用于“It takes/took/will take sb. some time to do sth.”句型中。
在“It is/was+adj.+for/of sb.+to do sth.”结构中,若形容词侧重于评价人物的特性、特征,则构成动词不定式复合结构的介词应用of,此时形容词常为kind、 nice、 foolish等,且sb.与形容词之间可构成逻辑上的系表关系;若形容词侧重于描写动词不定式动作的特征、特点,则构成动词不定式复合结构的介词应用for。
*It's very kind of you to say so.
你这样说真是太好了。
*It's difficult for him to finish the work ahead of time.
对他来说,提前完成工作太难了。
3.“疑问词+动词不定式(短语)”结构:
动词不定式(短语)可与疑问词when、where、how、what、which、who等组合,在句中作主语。
二、动词不定式(短语)作表语
(1)(教材P6)Not that long ago, my first thought at mealtimes was to eat at a restaurant.
不久前,我吃饭时的第一想法是去餐馆吃饭。
(2)(外研选必一 U4)Every artist's wish is to create something that expresses an idea.

1.动词不定式(短语)作表语,可以说明主语的具体内容,还可以表示目的、结果、安排、命令、决定、劝告、意愿等,其主语通常为aim、duty、hope、idea、job、plan、 problem、 purpose、 wish 等名词,或是what引导的名词性从句。动词不定式(短语)作表语时,主语和表语有时可以互换位置,其意思不变。
2.动词不定式(短语)作表语时,一般情况下动词不定式(短语)中的to不能省略,但当主语部分含有从句,且从句谓语部分有实义动词do的某种形式时,作表语的动词不定式(短语)常省略to。
动词不定式(短语)作表语省略to的情况
动词不定式(短语)作表语时,一般情况下动词不定式符号to不能省略,但在以下几种情况下可省略动词不定式符号to:
(1)all作主句主语,其后的定语从句中含有实义动词do的某种形式时。
*All we need to do is (to) keep calm when facing danger.

(2)what引导的从句作主语,从句中含有实义动词do的某种形式时。
*What I want to do is (to) take a holiday right away.
我想做的是马上去度假。
(3)(主句)主语被the only、the first、 the one、 the least或形容词最高级修饰,且其后作定语的从句或短语中含有实义动词do的某种形式时。
