句子主語與不定式動詞為動賓關(guān)系時,我們要注意以下三點:
1)不定式一般不用被動式(最容易出錯),而多用主動形式表示被動含義:
a. English is difficult to be spoken.*
b. Football is interesting to be watched.*
2)不定式后不能再加賓語:
a. Football is very interesting to watch it.*
b. She is very nice to talk to her.*
3)不定式動詞所帶的介詞不能省略:
a. She is interesting to listen.*
b. She is easy to get on.*
