動詞不定式常在句中作定語,放在名詞或代詞后,這個名詞或代詞也就是不定式動作的承受者。
I have a letter to write . 我有一封信要寫。(write a letter)
He has some questions to ask . 他有些問題要問。(ask some questions)
She has some homework to do . 她有些作業(yè)要做。(do some homework)
He wants something nice to eat . 他想吃些好吃的東西。(eat something nice)
提示
如果作定語的不定式是不及物動詞,后面要加適當的介詞,使前面的名詞作介詞的賓語。
He has nothing to worry about . (正) 他沒有什么可擔心的。(worry about something)
He has nothing to worry . (誤)
He has no room to live in .(正) 他沒有房間住。(live in a room)
He has no room to live . (誤)
