語法：不定式易錯點

1） 不定式動詞在介詞but，except，后面時，如果這些介詞之前有行為動詞do的各種形式，那么，這些介詞后的不定式不帶to，否則要帶to。

例如： She could do nothing but cry．她只會哭了。

I have no choice but to go．我不得不走。

2）作定語的不定式如果是不及物動詞，或者不定式所修飾的名詞或代詞是不定式動作的地點工具等，不定式后面須有相應的介詞。例如：

He is looking for a room to live in ． 他在找一個房間住。

There is nothing to worry about． 無什么可擔心的。

Please give me a knife to cut with． 請給我把刀子來切東西。

3）當作定語的不定式所修飾的名詞或代詞是不定式動作的承受者時，不定式既可以用主動語態，也可用被動語態，但其意義有所不同。試比較：

A)Have you anything to send?你有什么東西要寄嗎?(不定式tosend的動作執行者是you)

B)Have you anything to be sent?你有什么要(我或別人)寄的東西嗎?(不定式to be sent的動作執行者是已被省略的me或someone else)

4）不定式修飾的名詞或代詞和不定式邏輯上構成主謂關系時，不定式往往用主動形式。

Have you got a key to unlock the door? 你有開門的鑰匙嗎?

5）不定式和它前面被修飾的名詞或代詞構成邏輯上的動賓關系，又和該句主語構成邏輯上的主謂關系時，不定式常用主動形式。

I have got a letter to write． 我有封信要寫。

He needs a room to live in． 他需要間屋子住。

6）不定式作表語形容詞的狀語，和句中的主語構成邏輯上的動賓關系時，不定式多用主動形式，這是因為人們往往認為形容詞后省去了for one或for people．例如：

He is hard to talk to．很難跟他交談。

The book is difficult to understand．這本書很難懂。

但如果強調句中的受事者時，亦可用不定式被動句。例如：

The handwriting is very difficult to be read． 這字太難認讀了。

The box is to heavy to be lifted． 這箱子太重舉不起來。

7）在there be結構中，當說話人考慮的是必須有人去完成某件事時，不定式用主動形式，如果說話人強調的是事情本身必須完成，則用被動形式。

There is a lot of work to do． (Somebody has to do the work．)

There is a lot of work to be done．(The work has to be done．)

請注意下面兩個句子的含義是不同的：

There is nothing to do．意為無事可做，感到十分乏味。

There is nothing to be done．意為某東西壞了，無法使之恢復正常。
