在做GMAT语法的时候,有一类是属于对不定式的考察。这类题目虽然本身没有什么难度,但是一旦句子复杂,就会出现很多因为被迷惑而导致的错误。我们用实例来说明GMAT语法不定式考察知识点解析。
一、首先区分一下to do 和doing:to do 表示打算做某事,但是还没做;doing表示正在做某事
结合具体的词来说:
like: like to do ;like doing
Forget/remember to do/doing(忘记/记得要做某事。忘记/.记得已做过某事)
Stop to do/doing(停下来去做某事;停止做某事
Eg:
Don’t you remember seeing the man before?你不记得以前见过那个人吗?
You must remember to leave tomorrow.你可要记着是明天动身。
Let’s try doing the work some other way.让我们试一试用另外一种办法来做这工作。
Let’s try to work this out(让我们努力把这个问题解决了)
I didn’t mean to hurt your feeling.只是没打算伤害,还没有伤害
I did’t mean hurting you(已经伤害了)
Mary stopped to speak to me
Mary stoppedspeaking to me
二、然后了解一下省to 的动词不定式
使役动词 let, have, make:
感官动词 see, watch, look at, notice , observe, hear, listen to, smell, feel, find
情态动词:had better
I saw him run
The boss made them work the whole night.
we. can’t help laughing (禁不住笑了)
We can’t help to finish it.(不能帮助完成)
I often hear him sing in the classroom.我经常听见他在教室里唱歌。
Do you hear someone knocking at the door?你听见有人在敲门吗?
三、在被动语态中则to 不能省掉。
I appreciate having been given the opportunity to study abroad two years ago.
He was heard to sing in the classroom
四、不定式在句子中可以充当很多成分,如名词,形容词或副词:
◆ Noun: I love TO SWIM. To swim 作为love 的宾语.
◆ Adjective: The person TO MEET is here. To meet 修饰名词person .
◆ Adverb: Sue paused TO EAT lunch. To eat 修饰动词paused .
对于不定式的使用,我们也更应该关注不定式所要表达的目的:
Right: The contractors demolished the building TO KEEP it from falling down accidentally. demolished 的发起者是contractors ,同时也是不定式to keep的发起者,它描述了demolish 的目的,这里的it 指代building。
我们再看一个例子:
Wrong: The building was demolished TO AVOID falling down accidentally. 例子中building 本身不可能AVOID falling down,对于上面例子可以这样修改:The building was demolished TO KEEP IT from falling down accidentally. 这里的it 指代building ,经过这样修改,building 变成了不定式的宾语。不定式虽然可騨发名词用但还是和名词有许多不同的地方,比如不能作为介词的宾语。

五、下面我们就来练一道题目:
Australian embryologists have found evidence that suggests that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolving as a kind of snorkel.
A that suggests that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal, and its trunk originally evolving
B that has suggested the elephant descended from an aquatic animal, its trunk originally evolving
C suggesting that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal with its trunk originally evolved
D to suggest that the elephant had descended from an aquatic animal and its trunk originally evolved
E to suggest that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal and that its trunk originally evolved
解析:
A. Suggest that… and that…. 第二个that不能省略,且and前面不需要逗号
B. Suggest的用法不符合习语
C. 句子使用过去完成时没有根据,with部分结构错误
D. 宾语从句平行,第二个that不能省略
E. 正确
