②非谓语动词作定语:不定式作定语表动作尚未发生,与所修饰名词构成动宾关系。若不定式逻辑主语同时也为句子主语,用主动表被动,反之用被动(如:I’m leaving on business. Do you have anything to be taken there?),另还需注意不及物动词加介词;现在分词作定语表动作正在进行或习惯性经常性动作;过去分词作定语表动作完成,与所修饰名词构成动宾关系。
③非谓语动词作补语:能后跟非谓语动词作宾补的动词数量有限,格外注意使役动词和感官动词;为增加试题的干扰性,将宾语和补语分离改作定语从句的先行词(如:The managers discussed the plan that they would like to see carried out the next year.)或将作宾补改作主补(如:The missing boys were last seen playing near the river.);注意“with+ n./pron.+补语”结构的用法。
④动词不定式作状语、定语时,注意避开定向思维的干扰。
例 Which do you enjoy to kill your spare time—watching TV or playing football?
⑤疑问词+to do 的用法。
例 It is said that in Australia there is more land than the government knows what to do with it.
