动词短语:由动词和短语组成,或以动词为中心,功能同动词的短语叫动词短语,动词短语是动词的一种固定搭配形式。
动词短语的搭配类型:
动词+副词
1)作及物动词,例:
He brought up his children strictly.
从以上的例句中可以看出,在“动词+副词”的词组中宾语位置有两种情况:
宾语如是名词,则可置于副词后面,亦可置于动词和副词之间。而如果宾语是代词,只能置于动词后面,即动词和副词之间。
2)作不及物动词,例:
Something unexpected has turned up.
出现了令人意外的情况。(turn up=appear)
3)既可作及物动词又可作不及物动词,例:
The barrel of gunpowder blew up.(不及物)火药桶爆炸了。
The soldiers blew up the bridge.(及物)士兵们把桥炸毁了。
动词短语的及物性与不及物性主要取决于动词短语的意思。
动词+介词
动词与介词构成的词组在词义上相当于一个及物动词,宾语总是在介词后面,例:
I don’t much care for television.我不很喜欢电视。(care for=like)
动词+副词+介词
在这类动词短语中,动词、副词、介词紧密结合,是动副词组和动介词组的合成体,词义上相当于一个及物动词。
它兼有以上两类短语动词的特点,但宾语总是位于介词之后,例:
We must work hard to make up for lost time.我们必须努力工作来弥补失去的时间。(make up for=compensate)
动词+名词
这类动词短语中的常见动词是have,take,give,make等,后面的名词通常是从动词转化而来的动作名词,并表达了短语动词的真正意义,例:
Let’s have another try.让我们再试一下。(have a try=v.try)
动词+名词+介词
这类动词短语只用作及物动词。名词前可加形容词说明程度,宾语总是位于介词之后,例:
Keep an eye on the baby while I am out.我不在家时请照看一下小孩子。
be+形容词+介词
be+形容词(包括过去分词作形容词)+介词相当于及物动词,宾语位于介词后面,形容词是短语动词的真正词义,例:
I know he is slow at understanding,but you have to be patient with him.我知道他理解力差,但你得对他耐心些。

不定式定义:
由to+动词原形构成。不定式是一种非限定性动词。而非限定动词是指那些在句中不能单独充当谓语的动词,可分为不定式,动名词,现在分词和过去分词。
“动词不定式”由动词+不定式构成。动词不定式在句中可以作句子除谓语之外的任何句子成分。动词不定式的被动形式除了一般形式外还有其完成式和进行式。
常见的有:like / love,want,need,ask,help等。
例:I like to play with Tom. 我喜欢和汤姆玩。
I want to play with Tom. 我想和汤姆玩。
I like to eat dumplings. 我喜欢吃饺子。
动词不定式一般结构:
疑问词who,what,which,when,where,whether,how后可接不定式构成不定式短语,在句中作主语、宾语、表 语等。如:
①When to leave for London has not been decided yet. (不定式在句子中做主语)
②Mr. Smith didn't know whether to leave or stay there. (不定式在句子中做宾语)
③I asked Professor Xu how to learn English well. (不定式在句子中做直接宾语)
④The question was where to get the medicine needed. (不定式在句子中表语)
以上例句中疑问词+不定式部分,均可转换为相应的从句形式。如:
①When we shall leave…
③…how I could learn…
经常在这种结构中使用的动词有:
consider,decide,discover,explain,find out,forget,hear,know,lea rn,observe,understand,wonder等。
动名词与不定式的区别:
1 动名词与不定式的区别:
动名词表达的是:状态,性质,心境,抽象,经常性,已发生的
不定式表达的是:目的,结果,原因,具体,一次性,将发生的
2 接不定式或动名词,意义相同。
3在下列情况下,一般要用不定式:
①hate,like,love前有would(should)时,
如:I'd like to have a cup of coffee.
②当谓语动词begin,continue,start等是进行式时,
如:Thestudents are starting to work on the di fficult maths problem.
③begin,continue,start与know,understand等状态动词连用时,
如:I soon began to understand what was happening.
④.advise,allow,encourage,forbid,permit等动词后接动名词作宾语,或带不定式作宾语补足语。如:
Our teachers don't permit our/us swimming in the lake.
Our teachers don't permit us to swim in the lake.
4 部分动词后接不定式或动名词时,意义差别较大,应根据句子语境选择使用。
forget,remember,regret后接不定式,表示现在或未来的动作,接动名词表示动作已经发生。如:
Don't forget to post the letter for me.
Have you forgotten meeting her in Beijing Airport?
Remember to close the windows before you leave.
I remember writing him a letter a year ago.
We regret to tell you that all of you are not invited toattend the meeting.
They regretted ordering these books from abroad.
省to的动词不定式:
(1)情态动词( 除ought 外,ought to意思是“应该”,是情态动词,只有一种形式,后边接动词不定式,to不能省略。
ought to没有人称和数的变化,后接动词原形可以表示现在、将来或过去将来,由时间状语或上下文决定。例如:
They ought to come tomorrow.他们明天应当来):
(2)使役动词 let,have,make:
(3)感官动词see,watch,look at,notice,observe,hear,listen to,smell,feel,find 等后作宾补,省略to。

在使役动词中get除外(get sb. to do sth.)

=He was seen to dance.
The boss made them work the whole night.
=They were made to work the whole night.
(4)表示个人意愿或倾向的would rather,had better,might(just) as well:rather than置于句首时。

(5)Why… / why not…:
(6)help 可带to,也可不带to,help sb (to) do sth:
(7)but和except:but前是动词do时,后面出现的动词用不带to的动词不定式。
(8)由and,or和than连接的两个不定式,第二个to 可以省去:
(9)通常在discover,imagine,suppose,think,understand等词后,可以省去to be:
He is supposed (to be) nice. 他应该是个好人。
(10)but作介词,后接不定式结构时,前面谓语动词部分若含有do的形式时,but后的不定式要省去to,否则要带to。
He wants to do nothing but go out.
He wants to believe anything but to take the medicine.
(11)当两个或多个不定时短语由连词and,but或or连接时,后一个或几个不定式符号to常省略。但若表示对比、对照关系时,则不能省略。

The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier,not to make it more difficult.
(12)不定式做表语时,一般要带to,但若主语部分中含有do的各种形式时,符号to可省去。
