55、式要省去to,但在变成被动语态后需要加上to。能这样用的动词有:make,have,let,see,hear,notice,listen to,watch等。如:We often see him act like that.=He is often seen to act like that.我们常常看到他这样做。(2)在cant help but,have nothing to do but结构中,介词but后的不定式省去to。如:I cant help(but)suspect his motive.我不禁怀疑起他的动机。(3)在动词want,hopeq,manage,offer,happe
56、n,afford,promise,pretend,agree,expect等之后,用不定式作宾语;另外在动词tell,advise,show,teach,find out,decide,discuss,forget等后,常用一个带连接代词/副词的不定式作宾语。如:We must decide whether to go or stay.我们得决定去还是留。三、不定式有时要用主动形式表示被动意义 1.不定式的逻辑主语和逻辑宾语都出现在不定式前面,只能用主动形式;若在句中找不到不定式的逻辑主语,则用不定式的被动形式。如:Do you have anything to wash today?(to
57、wash的主语为句子的主语you,其逻辑宾语为anything。)你今天要洗什么吗?Do you have anything to be washed?(to be washed不是you做,而是由“我”或其他人来做)你有什么要其他人洗的吗?2.在There be/seem+主语+to do表示存在的句型中的不定式,一般用主动形式表示被动意义(也就是说,我们可能会见到被动形式,但主动形式要好得多)。Theres not enough food to eat.(The food is eaten.)没有足够的食物吃。Theres no chair to sit on.(The chair is
58、sat on.)没有椅子坐。3.在形容词以及含有形容词的名词后的不定式,一般用主动形式表示被动意义,其中形容词常见的有easy,difficult,important,impossible等。如:The work is impossible to finish in two days.(The work is finished.)工作不可能两天之内完成。English is not so easy to learn.(English is learnt.)英语并不好学。4.在一些固定用法,如“挨骂,受责备,受批评”用be to blame;“(东西等)出租”用to let。如:He is to
59、 blame for what he has done.他应为他的所作所为受责备。The house is to let.房子要出租。5.假如不定式所表示的动词,在谓语所表示的动词(或状态)之前发生,该不定式要用完成式。如:Im glad to have seen your mother.=Im glad that I have seen your mother.我很高兴见到过你母亲。(见课堂学案P21)单句语法填空。1.The chair looks rather hard,but in fact,it is very comfortable _(sit)on.2.It shamed me
