1.以下动词后,只能跟不定式作宾语.如:agree, ask, aim, arrange, choose, decide, demand, expect, fail , help, hope, lean, long, manage, offer, plan, prepare, pretend, promise, refuse, wish等,这些词大部分可接that引导的从句.如:
I decided to ask for my money back.
I decided that I would ask for my money back.
When our visit to the farm was over, we expected to start back on foot.
When our visit to the farm was over, we expected that we would start back on foot.
②当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式时,先用形式宾语it代替不定式,把不定式置于补语之后,即:主语+动 词+it+补语+to do句式.如:
We think it quite important for us to learn a foreign language well.
He feels it his duty to help the poor.
③介词but, except, besides +to do(do)
在这种句型中,如介词前有动词do,后面应接不带to的不定式;如无do,则接to不定式,即带do不带to, 带to不带do.如:
The enemy soldiers had no choice but to give in.
On Sunday afternoon I had nothing to do but watch TV.
2.部分动词后面,既可接动词不定式,也可接动名词作宾语,意义不变.如:begin, continue, start, hat e, like, love, need, require, want等.
在need, require, want后接-ing形式,表示被动意义,也可接不定式,但要用被动形式,如:Your handwriting needs improving (to be improved). hate, love, like接不定式表示特定的未来事件,接动名词表示目前 正在进行的活动或一般的行为.
在下列情况下,一般要用不定式:
①hate, like, love前有would(should)时,如:I'd like to have a cup of coffee.
②当谓语动词begin, continue, start等是进行式时,如:The students are starting to work on the difficult maths problem.
③begin, continue, start与know, understand等状态动词连用时,如:I soon began to understand what
was happening.
