动词不定式常在句中作定语,放在名词或代词后,这个名词或代词也就是不定式动作的承受者。
I have a letter to write . 我有一封信要写。(write a letter)
He has some questions to ask . 他有些问题要问。(ask some questions)
She has some homework to do . 她有些作业要做。(do some homework)
He wants something nice to eat . 他想吃些好吃的东西。(eat something nice)
提示
如果作定语的不定式是不及物动词,后面要加适当的介词,使前面的名词作介词的宾语。
He has nothing to worry about . (正) 他没有什么可担心的。(worry about something)
He has nothing to worry . (误)
He has no room to live in .(正) 他没有房间住。(live in a room)
He has no room to live . (误)
