五、非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞(Non-finite Verb)
在英語(yǔ)中,不是用于句子謂語(yǔ)而是用于擔(dān)任其他語(yǔ)法功能的動(dòng)詞叫做非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,也稱作動(dòng)詞的非限定形式。
非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞有三種形式:不定式(the Infinitive)、分詞(the Participle)和動(dòng)名詞(the Gerund)。
不定式
1. 構(gòu)成與形式
不定式由不定式符號(hào)“to + 動(dòng)詞原形”構(gòu)成(有時(shí)不帶to)。前面可以加某些疑問(wèn)代詞,如what, who, which, 或疑問(wèn)副詞,如when, where, why等,構(gòu)成特殊的不定式短語(yǔ),如what to do next, how to get there等。
不定式形式有:
主動(dòng)形式 |
被動(dòng)形式 | |
一般式 |
to do |
to be done |
完成式 |
to have done |
to have been done |
進(jìn)行式 |
to be doing |
to be being done |
完成進(jìn)行式 |
to have been doing |
2. 用法
不定式不能單獨(dú)作謂語(yǔ),沒(méi)有人稱和數(shù)的變化,具有名詞、形容詞和副詞的特征,而且還保留著動(dòng)詞的特征,因而可以有狀語(yǔ)修飾,如果是及物動(dòng)詞,還可以帶賓語(yǔ),從而構(gòu)成不定式短語(yǔ)。不定式或不定式短語(yǔ)在句子中可以作主語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、定語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)、主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。
1)作主語(yǔ)
To make a plan for our future is important.
How to get enough capital is still a question.
It is difficult to make a decision without knowing all the facts.
2)作表語(yǔ)

3) 作賓語(yǔ)

4)作定語(yǔ)

5) 作狀語(yǔ)

6) 作主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)

The education of the young is seen to be of primary importance.
7) 作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)
Please remind me to take my medicine tomorrow.
They didn’t allow her to park the car in this street.
有一些動(dòng)詞后用作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的不定式通常不帶to。這種動(dòng)詞有兩類(lèi):一類(lèi)是感官動(dòng)詞,如feel, see, hear, watch, notice等;另一類(lèi)是使役動(dòng)詞,如make, let, have等,如:
Did you notice him leave the house?
The made the boy go to bed early.
3. 時(shí)態(tài)與語(yǔ)態(tài)
1)完成式
I am sorry to have kept you waiting.
To have known her is an honor.
2) 進(jìn)行式

3) 完成進(jìn)行式
