英语语法-动词不定式
做主语:It + to do sth 句型
1. It + to do sth句型;it做形式主语
a. It is easier to spend money than to make money.
b. It takes time to study English well.

2. 不定式置于句首做主语,谓语动词要用单数。

b. To solve this problem takes a genius like Einstein.
c. To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
d. To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.
做宾语:动词 + to do
1. 直接跟在一个及物动词后面做宾语
特点一:句子的主语和不定式的逻辑主语是一致的,动作都是由主语发出。
特点二:这时句子谓语动词多是描写态度;不定式动作则说明行为。
a. I hope to see you again.
b. This company refused to cooperate with us.
c. He promised not to tell anyone about it.

agree, appear, beg, begin, dare, decide, expect, fail, forget, happen, hate, hesitate
hope, intend, like, love, manage, mean, prefer, prepare, pretend, promise, propose
refuse, regret, remember, seem, start, swear, try, want, wish
2. 连接词引导宾语从句的简略形式:动词 + 连接代词or连接副词or连词whether + to do
a. I wonder who to invite. (= who I should invite)
b. Show us what to do. (= what we must do)
c. I don’t know whether to answer his letter. (= whether I should answer)

order, permit, persuade, remind, teach, tell, want, warn, wish(hope不可)
2. 在let, make, have, see, hear, feel, watch, notice, listen to等动词后面,不定式做宾语补足语to要省略,改为被动语态,则必须带to(详见“不带to的不定式”)
