用作介詞的to
to 有兩種用法:一為不定式+動(dòng)詞原形; 一為介詞+名詞/動(dòng)名詞, to 在下面的用法中是第二種,即to+ 名詞/動(dòng)名詞:admit to承認(rèn),confess to承認(rèn),be accustomed to 習(xí)慣于,be used to 習(xí)慣于,stick to 堅(jiān)持,turn to開(kāi)始,著手于,devote oneself to 獻(xiàn)身于,be devoted to 致力于, look forward to 盼望,pay attention to
注意
省to 的動(dòng)詞不定式
1) 情態(tài)動(dòng)詞 ( 除ought 外,ought to):
2) 使役動(dòng)詞 let, have, make:
3) 感官動(dòng)詞 see, watch, look at, notice , observe, hear, listen to, smell, feel, find 等后作賓補(bǔ),省略to。
注意
在被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)中則to 不能省掉。
I saw him dance. =He was seen to dance.
The boss made them work the whole night.=They were made to work the whole night.
4) would rather,had better:
5) Why… / why not…:
6) help 可帶to,也可不帶to, help sb (to) do sth:
7) but和except:but前是動(dòng)詞do時(shí),后面出現(xiàn)的動(dòng)詞用不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式。
8) 由and, or和than連接的兩個(gè)不定式,第二個(gè)to 可以省去:
9) 通常在discover, imagine, suppose, think, understand等詞后,可以省去to be:He is supposed (to be) nice. 他應(yīng)該是個(gè)好人。舉例:He wants to move to France and marry the girl. He wants to do nothing but go out. 比較:He wants to do nothing but go out. He wants to believe anything but to take the medicine.
