　　He promised to return in an hour.

　　他答應(yīng)一小時后回來。

　　能跟不定式作賓語的動詞常見的有：want, like, wish, hate, prefer, hope, continue, manage, try, ask, offer, start, forget, promise, mean, pretend, intend, begin, attempt, decide, learn, desire, agree, care, choose, determine, undertake, expect等。

　　2.有些動詞(如tell, advise, show, teach, find out, discuss, learn, forget等)后面可跟一個帶有連接副(代)詞的不定式作賓語：

　　They will teach us how to type.

　　她不知如何回答是好。

　　He'll advise you what to do.

　　他會幫你出主意怎么辦。

　　3.有時還可以用it作形式上的賓語，把不定式放到后面去：

　　She found it impossible to finish the work so soon.

　　她發(fā)現(xiàn)不可能這樣快完成這項工作。

　　I don't think it necessary to do that.

　　我想這樣做不必要。

　　He felt it his duty to point that act.
