動詞不定式在句子中可以用作賓語補足語,高中范圍內,常用的“動詞+賓語+不定式”的句子結構中。不定式作賓語補足語的有以下八種類型:(下列句子中劃線部分作賓語補足語)
一、許多動詞可跟一個賓語 + to do…構成句子,句中的不定式作賓語補足語;否定形式為“動詞+賓語+not to do…”。例如:
My boss told me to type out two letters.
分析:句中“My boss”做主語,“told”作謂語,“me”作賓語,劃線部分作賓語補足語。請看下面的句子。
They forbade her to leave the country.
Please remind me not to be late for the meeting.
高中范圍內,適用于“動詞+賓語+(not)to do…”的結構,不定式作賓語補足語的動詞有:advise,allow,ask,beg,cause,direct,encourage,expect,forbid,force,invite,order,permit,persuade,remind,re- quest,require,teach,tell,want,warn等。
二、有些動詞可跟“賓語+to be…”構成句子,句中的不定式作賓語補足語。例如:
I consider him to be the best candidate.
分析:句中“I”做主語,“consider”作謂語,“him”作賓語,劃線部分作賓語補足語。請看下面的句子。
I know him to be a liar.
I suppose him to be away from home.
高中范圍內,適用于“動詞+賓語+to be…”的結構,不定式作賓語補足語的動詞有:consider,declare,discover,feel,find,suppose等。
三、有些動詞(感官動詞和使動詞)后可跟不帶to的不定式構成句子,句中的不定式作賓語補足語。例如:
He saw her enter the room.
分析:句中“He”做主語,“saw”作謂語,“her”作賓語,劃線部分作賓語補足語。請看下面的句子。
She won’t let me do it.
I heard her lock the door.
We watched the children play games.
高中范圍內,適用于“動詞+賓語+do…”的結構,不定式作賓語補足語的動詞有:feel,have,hear,let,make,notice,observe,see,watch等。還有兩個詞組:listen to,look at.
注意:這類句子變為被動結構時,不定式前加to。請看下列句子,句中劃線部分作賓語補足語。例如:
A child was seen to enter the building.
She was often heard to sing this song.
四、help后的不定式可加to,也可不加to(美國人不加to時較多),但被動結構中要加to。例如:
I’ll help you(to) push the cart.
分析:句中“I”做主語,“will help”作謂語,“you”作賓語,劃線部分作賓語補足語。
上句的被動語態為:You’ll be helped to push the cart.
五、有些“動詞+介詞”的結構后也可跟不定式構成句子,句中的不定式作賓語補足語。例如:
He shouted to me to come over.
分析:句中“He”做主語,“shouted”作謂語,“to”為介詞,“me”作賓語,劃線部分作賓語補足語。請看下列句子,句子的結構為“動詞+介詞+賓語+to do…”,劃線部分為不定式,作賓語補足語。請看下面的句子。
I depend on you to do it.
I am counting on you to help me through.
高中范圍內,適用于“動詞+介詞+賓語+to do…”的結構,不定式作賓語補足語的動詞有:shout to sb.to do,call on sb. to do,count on sb. to do,depend on sb. to do,wait for sb. to do等。
六、作賓語補足語的不定式,表示的動作在謂語所表示情況之前發生,就需要用完成形式:
He was known to have worked for the International Olympic Committee.
分析:句中“He”做主語,“was known”作謂語,使用了被動語態。由句意可知,“為國際奧委會工作”發生在前,“大家知道”發生在后。故不定式部分用完成形式,在句中作賓語補足語。請看下面的句子。
They are believed to have discussed the problem.
七、作賓語補足語的不定式,表示一個正在進行的動作時需用進行形式:
He is believed to be living in Mexico.
分析:句中“He”做主語,“isbelieved”作謂語,使用了被動語態。由于句子表達主語現在正在發生的情況,故用不定式的進行形式,句中劃線部分作賓語補足語。請看下列句子。
Thousands were reported to be working in concentration camps.
He is thought to be hiding in the woods.
間或不定式作賓語補足語也可用于完成進行時。例如:
She is said to have been doing this work for twenty years.
八、不定式作賓語補足語的被動形式:
he didn’t want her son to be taken away.
分析:句中“She”做主語,“didn’t want”作謂語,“her son”作賓語,由于“her son”與“take away”之間為被動關系,故用被動形式,句中劃線部分作賓語補足語。請看下列句子。
I’d like this room to be redecorated.
He didn’t wish the subject to be mentioned in the letter.
