不定式
动词不定式表示比较具体的意义，
经常和特定的动作和执行者联系
起来，经常带时间或地点状语，
有时表示将要发生的动作。
1. To master a foreign language is no
easy job.
2. To do it well is my earnest desire.
3. To see this film is to waste time.
4. To solve this problem is out of the
question.
动词不定式作主语时，常见的另
一种形式是在句首用先行代词it
作形式主语，而将动词不定式移
到谓语之后作真正主语。用于这
种形式是一些特定形容词，动词
和名词。例如：
1)形容词作表语（常见的形容词有：
important, difficult, easy 等）
It is foolish to act in this way.
2) 动词作谓语（常见的动词有：
require, cost, amuse等）
It didn't occur to me to ask him to
help me.
3)名词作表语
It is a good idea to think this way.
动名词
动名词表示比较抽象（一般）和经常
性的意义，有时可同不定式互换。
1. Collecting stamps is a good hobby.
2. Swimming is a best sport in summer.
3. There is no telling what will happen.
4. There is no denying the fact.
5. There is no need informing him of it.
另一种形式是在句首用先行代词it
作形式主语面将动名词短语移至谓
语之后作真实主语。
1)形容词作表语(常见的形容词有：
enjoyable, good, hard, worthwhile)
It is nice talking to you.
2)名词作表语
It’s waste of time doing this.
动名词作主语往往表示经常性或
抽象的行为。不定式作主语往往
表示具体的某一次的行为。
1. Playing fire is very dangerous.
2. To play fire in the room will
make the house catch fire.
主语为动词不定式和动名词时，其谓
语常用单数形式。如：
1. To give is better than to receive.
2. It was difficult to see.
3. It’s best to wear cool clothes.
4. Playing is much better than having
classes.
主语从句
1. That he will come here on Wednesday
is certain.
2. Whether he will come here on
Wednesday is not certain.
注意：
1. 从句作主语时，就算是句子意
思完整，都要加上引导词that。
2. 主语从句表示“是否” 只用
“whether” 而不用“if”。
有时用“it”作形式主语，把主语从句
放在后面，以避免头重脚轻。
1. It is known to us that he will come
here.
2. It is true that he has made a very
important discovery in chemistry.
3. It is very likely that they will hold a
meeting.
4. It is important that we all should
