( = He arrived late and found the others had gone home.)He arrived late to avoid meeting Robert. ( = He arrived late in order to avoid meeting Robert.)He got to the station only to be told the train had gone.He went to the station to inquire about the times of trains.

(复合宾语)如果主要 谓语所表示的动作(或情况)发生时，不定式所表示的动作 正在进行，这时，不定式就要用进行式。八、不定式的进行 式主要有下列几种用法1(构成复合谓语，如:They are said to be building another bridge across the river.They seem to be getting along quite well.I happened to be going that way too.2(在某些动词后构成复合宾语，如:We didn’t expect you to be waiting for us here.3(在某些动词后作宾语，如:He pretended to be listening attentively.4(有时可以作主语或状 语，如:I am glad to be working with you. (状语)It’s nice of you to be thinking of us. (主语)九、如果不定式所表示的动作在谓 语所表示的时间之前一直在进行，就需要用完成进行式，如: They are said to have been collecting folk songs in Yunnan.She wished to have been training as hard as the others.It’s a great pleasure to have been working with you.当不定式的逻辑主语 是不定式所表示的动作的承受者时，不定式一般要采用被动 形式。十、 不定式的被动形式有下列用法1(作主语:It is an honour for me to be asked to speak here.2(作宾语:She asked to be sent to work in Xinjiang.3(构成复合宾语:He wanted the letter to be typed at once.She didn’t like herself to be praised like that.4(构成复合谓语:The books are not allowed to be taken out of the room.5(作定语:Are you going to the meeting to be held in the teachers’ office?6(作状语:She was too young to be assigned such work.十一、不定式有时还可以有完成式的 被动式，在句中作主语、宾语、定语，或者构成复合宾语、 复合谓语等，如:It is a good thing for him to have been criticized.(主语)She preferred to have been given heavier work to do.

(定语)十二、不定式作插 入语插入语一般对一句话作一些附加的说明。它是中学英语 语法的重点,也是的考点。掌握这一语言现象不仅有利于 对句子、篇章的理解,而且也有助于提高书面表达的写作水 平。常见的插入语有形容词(词组)、副词、不定式、现在分 词短语、介词短语、从句以及固定短语。常见的不定式有:to tell the truth; to be short(简单地);to begin with(首先); to be sure(自然、当然、果然);to be honest/frank; to make things worse; to make a long story short; to speak of(值得一提的是),to be fair ,to sum up(概括地说) 等。这些插入语表示说话人的态度, 在句子中作独立成份。例如:________ the truth, this is all Greek to me.A. Tell B. To tell C. Telling D. Told [Key: B]That’s a good idea, to be sure!To make things worse, many of the men have gone off to cities in search of higher pay.
