在前面几篇文章中,小编已经与大家一起学习了不定式与形容词、名词的搭配关系,今天我们来说说不定式最重要的一个用法:与动词搭配,构成“动宾”结构。不定式作动词宾语,可分为三种情况,即“动词+to do”、“动词+宾语+to do”和“动词+(宾语)+to do”。下面小编给大家详细道来。
一、动词+to do
英语中,有些动词只能接不定式,构成“动词+to do”结构。这类动词有:agree, aim, apply, choose, decide, demand, desire, determine, endeavor, expect, hope, learn, manage, offer, pledge, prepare, pretend, profess, promise, refuse, resolve, seek等等。
We hope to finish this task as soon as possible. 我们希望尽快完成这项任务。
These players desired to win the game. 这些运动员渴望赢得这场比赛。
She refused to come to the party. 她拒绝参加聚会。
二、动词+宾语+to do
有些动词后不能直接加to do,必须先接宾语,再接to do。这类动词有consider, declare, prove, think, believe discover等表示心理状态的动词,其后一般用to be 形式。
I believe my friend to be reliable. 我相信我朋友是值得信赖的。
We all consider him to be a good teacher. 我们一致认为他是一位好老师。
They have proved him to be wrong.他们已经证明他是错的。
三、动词+(宾语)+to do
有些动词后面,既可以直接带不定式,也可以带宾语+不定式,例如ask, can’t bear, hate, intend, like, prefer等。
She asked to give these children more presents. 她要求给孩子们更多的礼物。
She asked me to give these children more presents. 她要求我给孩子们更多的礼物。
The teacher intends to give more time. 老师打算给更多时间。
The teacher intends students to give more time. 老师打算让孩子们多给一些时间。
注:这一类动词,同样可以用于that-分句,例如:
She asked that I should give these children more presents. 她要求我给孩子们更多的礼物。
The teacher intends that students should give more time. 老师打算让孩子们多给一些时间。
