[簡析]動詞不定式作主語時,可以直接放在謂語動詞前面的主語位置,也可以用先行詞it作形式主語,而將真正的主語(不定式)置于后面。常見的句式有:(1)It is +形容詞(of sb)to do sth.(2)It is +名詞(for sb)to do sth.(3)It takes sb some time to do sth.(4)It is +形容詞(for sb)to do sth.句式(1)中常用nice, kind, clever, good, right, wrong, foolish, careless等形容詞,與介詞of搭配,這些形容詞常表述不定式邏輯主語的屬性或性質(zhì);句式(4)中常用hard, difficult, easy, important等形容詞,與介詞for搭配,表示不定式表示的動作、行為的性質(zhì)。

九、動詞不定式的省略及其符號to的保留
1. Would you like to go to the cinema with us?

A. build B. builds C. to build D. to be built (青海省)
Key: D
[簡析]當(dāng)不定式的邏輯主語是不定式所表示的動作的承受者(賓語)時,用動詞不定式的被動式,即:to be +過去分詞;如果不定式所表示的動作發(fā)生在謂語動詞表示的動作之前,不定式用完成式,即:to have +過去分詞;如果不定式表示的動作和謂語動詞表示的動作同時發(fā)生,用不定式的進(jìn)行式,即:to be +現(xiàn)在分詞
