动词不定式
动词不定式是初中英语的语法重点之一,也是每年中考英语试题的考点之一。它是动词的一种非谓语形式,没有人称和数的变化,不能单独作句子的谓语。其构成形式为"to+动词原形",to为动词不定式的符号,本身无意义。动词不定式具有两大特点: 1.具有动词的特点,因此,后面可以跟表语、宾语或状语,构成动词不定式短语。
2.具有名词、形容词或副词的特点,可以在句子中用作主语、宾语、宾语补足语、状语、定语、表语及同位语等。下面以近几年全国部分省市的中考英语试题为例,对不定式的难点以及它在中考英语中的考查点,作一简要的总结和分析,供同学们学习时参考。

九、动词不定式的省略及其符号to的保留
1. Would you like to go to the cinema with us?
Yes, ______. What time are we going to meet?
A. I would B. I would like C. I like to D. I'd like to (浙江省)
2. Would you like to go for a picnic with us?
______. What time are we going to meet?
A. No, I can't B. Yes, I'm glad C. Yes, I'd love to D.I'd like (大连市)
Keys: 1. D 2. C
[简析]在口语中,动词不定式中的动词或短语动词在上下文中重复出现时,第二个动词不定式可以省略,但是to不可省略。这种用法常见于"be gladto","would like (love) to","have to"等结构中。
十、动词不定式的被动式和其他形式
The new hospital ______ is near the factory.
A. build B. builds C. to build D. to be built (青海省)
Key: D
[简析]当不定式的逻辑主语是不定式所表示的动作的承受者(宾语)时,用动词不定式的被动式,即:to be +过去分词;如果不定式所表示的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前,不定式用完成式,即:to have +过去分词;如果不定式表示的动作和谓语动词表示的动作同时发生,用不定式的进行式,即:to be +现在分词
比较and和or
1) 并列结构中,or通常用于否定句,and用于肯定句。
2) 但有时and 也可用于否定句。请注意其不同特点:
There is noair or water in the moon。
There is noair and no water on the moon。
在否定中并列结构用or 连接,但含有两个否定词的句子实际被看作是肯定结构,因此要用and。
典型例题
---I don'tlike chicken ___ fish.
---I don'tlike chicken, ___ I like fish very much。
A. and; and B. and; but C. or; but D. or;and
答案C。否定句中表并列用or, but 表转折。
判断改错:
(错) We will diewithout air and water。
(错) We can'tlive without air or water。
(对) We will diewithout air or water。
(对) We can'tlive without air and water。
