10、to do sth.I felt totally confused, not knowing where to go.3)whether to do sth. (不用if)Whether to follow his instruction is not for you to decide.2. 不定式的主动表被动 句中存在名词或代词可以作为不定式的逻辑主语,构成逻辑上的主谓关系。eg. Mrs Bird gave the dog a few bones to eat.The policeman showed me the right bus to take.如果句中不存在这种主谓关系,那么不定
11、式仍须用被动。eg. The news reporter raised a few questions to be answered. 在“形容词+不定式”结构中,如果不定式与句子主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系,那么不定式多用主动语态。eg.The plane is dangerous to fly.The machine is hard to control. There be结构中,倾向于用不定式主动语态表示被动意义。eg. There is always much housework to do in the house. blame, let在此为主动表被动。He is not to bla
12、me for the mistake.(他不应该为这个错误受责备。)The house is to let. (房子待租。)2. 不定式的省略 感官动词和使役动词在主动语态中不需要带to,即我们常说的“一觉二听三让五看” :feel, listen to, hear, let, make, have, see, watch, notice, observe, look at. 但这些句子如果变成被动结构时,就必须带to。I often hear him sing the song. He is often heard to sing the song. had better,would rat
13、her,rather than之后省略to。Youd better not tell him the news .Rather than wait at the station, I prefer to go home by taxi. 为避免重复,不定式中主要动词可省略,只剩下to。Would you like to come with us? - Yes, Id love to.Shall I give the dog a chocolate? -Its better not to. 由 all, what 引导的主语从句或主语被only, first, one, least 或形容词最高
14、级修饰,且从句中含有do时,动词不定式作表语则往往省去to。All I did was (to) press the button.What you have to do is (to) fill in the forms.The only thing I could do was (to) do it myself 。3. 和不定式有关的常用词组和句型 be said to doHe is said to have studied abroad for many years. happen to doWe happened to discover we had a friend in common. = It happened that we discovered that we had a friend in common. seem to doHe seemed to be looking for something. = It seemed that he was looking for something.
