1.我認(rèn)為你最好不要把那件事告訴她。

誤：I think you’d better not to tell her about it.

誤：I think you’d better don’t tell her about it.

正：I think you’d better not tell her about it.

析：在助動(dòng)詞（do / will / shall）、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞（can / may / must / could / should / would）、had better以及“Will you please...？”等后面應(yīng)接省去to的動(dòng)詞不定式。其否定形式是在動(dòng)詞前加“not”。

2.我終于使他改變了主意。

誤：I made him to change his mind at last.

正：I made him change his mind at last.

析：英語中的感官動(dòng)詞（see / hear / watch / find / feel / look at / listen to）以及使役動(dòng)詞（make / have / let）等，后跟不定式作賓語補(bǔ)足語時(shí)，要用省去to的動(dòng)詞不定式。值得注意的是：將其主動(dòng)語態(tài)變?yōu)楸粍?dòng)語態(tài)時(shí)，“to”要加上。

3.老師叫孩子們不要在教室里踢足球。

誤：The teacher told （asked） the children not play football in the classroom.

誤：The teacher told （asked） the children don’t play football in the classroom.

正：The teacher told （asked） the children not to play football in the classroom.

析：在動(dòng)詞tell / ask / want / order / like / teach / wish / would like （love）等動(dòng)詞后，跟不定式作賓語補(bǔ)足語時(shí)，要帶to，其否定形式是在to前加not。

4.請(qǐng)告訴他們下一步該怎么辦。

誤：Please tell them what to do it next.

誤：Please tell them how to do next.

正：Please tell them what to do next.

正：Please tell them how to do it next.

析：不定式在與疑問代詞what / who / which等連用時(shí)，這些疑問代詞本身已作了不定式的賓語，故在不定式后無須再有其他名詞或代詞作賓語。但是，如果不定式與疑問副詞how / when / where等連用，該動(dòng)詞不定式要么是不及物動(dòng)詞，要么是“及物動(dòng)詞 + 賓語”。如：

I don’t know which to choose. 我不知道選哪一個(gè)。

Do you know where to find him？ 你知道在哪兒能找到他嗎？

5.那位老人沒有房子住。

誤：The old man has no room to live.

正：The old man has no room to live in.

析：作定語用的動(dòng)詞不定式，若為不及物動(dòng)詞，在該動(dòng)詞之后應(yīng)加上適當(dāng)?shù)慕樵~。再如：Did he have anything to worry about？ 他有什么擔(dān)心的嗎？

6.這個(gè)箱子對(duì)那個(gè)孩子來說太重了，搬不動(dòng)。

誤：The box is too heavy for the child to carry it.

正：The box is too heavy for the child to carry.

正：The box isn’t light enough for the child to carry.

正：The box is so heavy that the child can’t carry it.

析：在“主語 + be + too + 形容詞...to do”句型中，句中的主語，同時(shí)又是不定式的邏輯賓語。故在不定式后無須再加其他名詞或代詞來作不定式的賓語。

7.我們停下來休息一會(huì)兒吧。

誤：Let’s stop having a rest.

正：Let’s stop to have a rest.

析：stop doing sth.與stop to do sth.含義不同，前者表示“停止做某事”；后者指“停下來去做另一件事”。

8.明天別忘了把你的書帶來。

誤：Don’t forget bringing your book here tomorrow.

正：Don’t forget to bring your book here tomorrow.

析：forget / remember doing sth.意思是“忘記 / 記得做過某事”（已做過某事）；forget /remember to do sth.指“忘記 / 記得要去做某事”（某事還沒有做）。

9.當(dāng)我路過他家時(shí)，我聽到他在唱歌。

誤：When I walked past his house， I heard him sing in the room.

正：When I walked past his house， I heard him singing in the room.

析：在感官動(dòng)詞“see / watch / hear / listen to / look at / feel”等后面，用省去 “to”的動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語補(bǔ)足語，表示動(dòng)作的全過程。用動(dòng)詞?ing作賓語補(bǔ)足語，表示動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行。

10.你為何不出去散散步？

誤：Why not to go out for a walk？

正：Why not go out for a walk？ / Why don’t you go out for a walk？

析：Why not + 動(dòng)詞原形...？相當(dāng)于Why don’t you + 動(dòng)詞原形...？，是表示建議的句型，意思是“為何不……？干嗎不……？”。
