大学英语语法之动词不定式

1、第五章动词不定式（一）动词不定式是动词的一种非谓语形式，在句中不能单独作谓语。动词不定式具有动词的性质，它可以有自己的宾语和状语，从而构成动词不定式短语。它还可以有形式的变化，即一般式、进行式、完成式和被动式。同时，动词不定式也具有非动词的性质，相当于一个名词、形容词或副词，可以在句中担任主语、宾语、宾语补足语、表语、定语和状语。一、动词不定式的特征和种类动词不定式是由不定式符号to+动词原形构成，在某些情况下to也可省略。A .不定式的一般式不定式的一般式表示的动作通常与主要谓语的动作同时或几乎同时发生，或是在它之后发生。He appears to be very happy.他看起来好像很高兴。（同时发生）To catch the train, wed better hurry to the station by taxi.为了赶上火车，我们最好赶紧乘出租车去车站。（to catch the train 发生在 hurry to the station 之后）B.不定式的进行式不定式的进行式表示正在进行的或与谓语动词同时发生的动作。It happened to be raining

2、 when I got there.我到达那里的时候，天碰巧在下雨。Im glad to be traveling with you.我很高兴和你一起旅游。C.不定式的完成式不定式的完成式表示的动作在谓语表示的动作之前发生。Im sorry to have lost your key.我很抱歉把你的钥匙弄丢了。I meant to have finished my work last night, but I didnt feel very well.我本来想昨晚完成工作的，但是我感觉身体不舒服。It has been an honor for me to have been invited to your country. 对我来说， 被邀请来你们国 家是一件很荣幸的事情。D .不定式的完成进行式不定式的完成进行式表示的动作在谓语之前发生并且一直进行着。He was said to have been living in London for twenty years. 据说他在伦敦一直住了20 年。Im sorry to have been interrupting you.彳艮抱
