Object 2. Object complement 3. AttributeStep Explanation and Summary T: As we all know, the Infinitive
7、 is used as the object of the verb “agree” in the first sentence. Now can you think of any other verbs followed by the infinitive as their objects? Ss: Afford, arrange, ask, beg, choose, decide, expect, fail, hope, manage, offer, pretend, promise, refuse, want, wish and so on. (Write them on the bla
8、ckboard.) T: Very good. There are some verbs followed by either the Infinitive or the v.-ing form. Do you know what they are.? Ss: Like, begin, continue, forget, regret, remember, start, stop, try” T: Right. But attention please. The verbs “begin, continue, like, love, start” can be followed by eith
9、er the Infinitive or the v. -ing form. (Bb: begin, continue, like, love, start)And they have the same meaning. While the verbs “for get, regret, remember, stop, try” can also be followed by the Infinitive or the v. -ing form. (Bb forget, regret, remember, stop, try) There are some differences betwee
10、n them. Now look at the examples on the screen. (Show the screen.)1. I like playing football, but I dont like to play it now.2. I remember seeing her once somewhere.3. I must remember to take my notebooks with me.T: From the first sentence, we know the v.-ing form is an action in general while the I
11、nfinitive is an action on a certain occasion. In the second and the third sentences, the v.-ing form is used for a past event while the infinitive is used for a future action. Are you clear?Ss. Yes.T: Please translate the sentences into Chinese. One student , one sentence. S4:我喜欢踢足球,但现在不愿意。S5:我记得在哪里
12、见过她。S6:我必须记住带上笔记本。T: Good. When the Infinitive is used as Object and is followed by Object complement, we often use this structure. S. + V. + it + adj. In. + infinitive. (Write it on the blackboard.)Now please make some sentences with the structure.S7: I thought it unnecessary to argue with him abou
13、t it.S8: He considers it his duty to help others. T: Very good. Which verbs do you think can be followed by the Infinitive as Object Complement? Ss: Advise, allow, ask, want, wish, order, tell, have, let, make, feel, hear, watch, seeT: Yes. Some verbs, like “advise, allow, ask, want, wish” must be f
14、ollowed by the Infinitive with “to”, while the verbs “ have, let, make, feel, hear, watch, see” must be followed by the Infinitive without to. (Bb: advise, allow, ask, want, wish, order, have, let, make, feel, hear, watch) But you mustnt forget “to” in the passive voice. Look at the examples on the
15、screen. (Show the screen.)1. We often hear her sing the folk song.= She is often heard to sing the folk song.2. The girl wanted to go dancing, but her mother told her not toT: In the second sentence, “not” is put before the Infinitive. (Bb: not to do sth. ) To avoid repetition, the verb after the si
16、gn to is often omitted. But “to” cant be left out. This is done after such verbs as, want, wish, like, love, hope, plan, try, hate etc. Now look at the examples on the screen.(Show the screen.)1.Would you like to come to a party? Id love to.2.Have you listenedNo, but I plan to.3. You dont have to ea
17、t it if you dont want to.T: When the infinitive phrase is used as subject, the formal subject “it” is often used, that is, “Its+n./adj. + infinitive”. If we need to tell who performs the action of the infinitive, we can put for sb./for sb. before the infinitive. (Bb: Its + adj. / n. + for/of sb. + i
18、nfinitive.)Some adjectives, such as, kind, good, wise, stupid, foolish, careless, clever, must be followed by “of sb. to do sth. ” In this case, the sentence emphasizes “per- son”. If we use “for sb. to do sth.” it emphasizes “thing”. Please look at the sentences on the screen and compare them, then
19、 fill in the blanks with “of” or “for”.(Show the exercise on the screen.)1. It is silly us to believe her.2. It is impossible the task so soon.3. It is nice you to help me.4.

20、sentences on the screen. Pay attention to the forms of the infinitive in the sentences. 1. She asked to be sent to work in Tibet.2. I am glad to have seen your mother, 3. We didnt expect you to be waiting for us here. T: In the first sentence, the passive infinitive is used, which expresses a passiv
21、e action. In the second sentence, we use the perfect infinitive. When do you think the perfect infinitive is used? Ss: When the action expressed by the infinitive happens before the predicate, the perfect infinitive should be used. T: Quite right. Now look at the third sentence. The continuous form
22、of the infinitive is used. When the action is happening, we use the continuous form of the infinitive. (Bb: to be done, to have done, to be doing) T: Now lets do an exercise.(Show the exercise on the screen.) Choose the correct answers:1. I have two letters today.2.1 have no letterstoday, thank you.
