不定式省to有四種情況:
使役動詞 let,have,make 等后接不定式。如:Let him go! 讓他走!
would rather,had better后。如:You had better stay at home.你最好呆在家里。
Why... / why not...后。如:Why not have a good rest on Sunday? 為什么星期天不好好休息一下呢?
感官動詞 see, watch, look at, hear, listen to, smell,feel, find 等后作賓補,省to。如:I saw him dance. 我看見他跳舞。
注意:這些情況在被動句中可千萬不可省to !如:The boss made them work the whole night. 變成被動句:They were made to work the whole night.
不定式的特殊用法:
It與不定式:動詞不定式可以做主語,但如果動詞不定式太長,顯得頭重腳輕的,那么我們就可用形式主語it代替,而把真正主語(即不定式)放于句尾。
如: It is not difficult for me to study English well.(對我來說學好英語是可能的。)
不定式還可以充當句子的賓語,但有些動詞,如find,think,believe 等,在語法上不能接受不定式作賓語,只有用it作形式賓語,從而把動詞不定式置于句尾。這樣的不定式可繼續充當其賓語的作用。
如: I found it difficult to fall asleep.我發現很難入睡。
還有一點:動詞不定式,還可用在how,when,where,what,which 等疑問代詞或副詞之后,與其共同作賓語。如:I don't know how to use a computer.我不知道怎樣使用電腦。
too...to...和enough...to:too...to表達"太 ... 一致于不能..."。
enough ... to 表達 "足以..."。
