在英语语法中,动词与不定式的结合使用是一种常见的表达方式,它能够丰富句子的意义并提供额外的语境信息。然而,并非所有动词都可以直接跟不定式作宾语,这就需要我们了解和掌握一些特定的规则和结构。

有些动词可以用不定式直接作宾语,如try, want, like, wish, hate, mean, pretend, begin, decide, learn, determine和expect等。还有些动词不能直接跟不定式作宾语,需用it代替不定式作宾语,这些动词有find, make, think, consider和feel等。也有些动词不能直接跟不定式作宾语,需在不定式前加连接代词或连接副词。有些动词可以跟不定式作宾语补语,如love, teach, ask, get, tell, invite, force, oblige和beg等。
