学习一生非谓语动词的定义是什么意思
非谓语动词，又叫非限定动词，非谓语动词是指在句子中不是谓语的动词，主要包括不定式、动名词和分词(现在分词和过去分词)，即动词的非谓语形式。下面是给大家整理的非谓语动词的定义简介，希望能帮到大家!
非谓语动词的定义
在句子中充当除谓语以外的各种句子成分的动词形式，叫做非谓语动词(the Non-Finite Verbs)。非谓语动词也是动词的一种，他们有着动词的其他特点，可以充当主语、宾语、状语等。非谓语动词与谓语动词是相对的概念。
非谓语动词与谓语动词
相同点
如果是及物动词都可与宾语连用，例如：
They built a garden.
They suggested building a garden.
都可以被状语修饰：
The suit fits him very well.
The suit used to fit him very well.
都有主动与被动，“体”式(一般式;进行式;完成式)的变化。例如：
He was punished by his parents.(谓语动词被动语态)
He avoided being punished by his parents.(动名词的被动式)
We have written the composition.(谓语动词的完成时)
Having written the composition,we handed it in.(现在分词的完成式)
都可以有逻辑主语
They started the work at once.(谓语动词的逻辑主语)
The boss ordered them to start the work.(动词不定式的逻辑主语)
We are League members.(谓语动词的主语)
We being League member,the work was well done. (现在分词的逻辑主语)
否定式一般用not,并且放在非谓语动词之前
不同点
非谓语动词可以有名词作用(如动词不定式和动名词)，在句中做主语、宾语、表语。
非谓语动词可以有形容词作用(如动词不定式和分词)，在句中做定语、表语或宾语补足语。
非谓语动词可以有副词作用(如动词不定式和分词)，在句中作状语。
谓语动词在句中作谓语，受主语的人称和数的限制;非谓语动词在句中不能单独作谓语，它不受主语的人称和数的限制。
英语中不能单独做句子的谓语。
非谓语动词形式功能
动词不定式
动词不定式：(to)+ do，具有名词、形容词、副词的特征。
否定式：not + (to) do
以do为例，动词不定式的构成如下：
1.一般式：不定式的一般式所表示的动作与谓语动词动作同时发生或发生在谓语动词动作之后.
例如：
It's nice to meet you.很高兴见到你。
He seems to know a lot. 他看起来懂得很多。
We plan to pay a visit. 我们计划去参观。
He wants to be an artist. 他想成为一个艺术家。
The patient asked to be operated on at once. 病人要求马上手术。
The teacher ordered the work to be done. 老师要求完成工作。
2.进行式：不定式的进行式所表示的动作与谓语动词动作同时发生，例如：
The boy pretended to be working hard. 男孩假装工作得很努力。
He seems to be reading in his room. 看起来他正在他的房间里面读书。
3.完成式：不定式的完成式表示的动作发生在谓语动词动作之前，例如：
I regretted having told a lie. 我后悔我说谎了。
I happened to have seen the film. 我偶然看过这部电影。
He is pleased to have met his friend. 他很高兴能遇上他的朋友。
不定式的句法功能：
(1)作主语：
To finish the work in ten minutes is very hard. 十分钟之内完成这项工作是很难的。
To lose your heart means failure. 灰心意味着失败。
动词不定式短语作主语时，常用it作形式主语，真正的主语不定式置于句后，例如上面两句可用如下形式：
It is very hard to finish the work in ten minutes. 十分钟之内完成这项工作是很难的。
It means failure to lose your heart. 灰心意味着失败。
常用句式有：
1、It+be+名词+to do。
2、It takes sb.+some time+to do。
3、It+be+形容词+of sb +to do。常用careless,,clever,good,foolish,honest,kind,lazy,nice,right,silly,stupid,wise,等表示赞扬或批评的形容词，不定式前的sb.可作其逻辑主语。
2.作表语：
Her job is to clean the hall. 她的工作是打扫大厅。
He appears to have caught a cold. 他似乎感冒了。
3.作宾语：
常与不定式做宾语连用的动词有：want,hope,wish,offer,fail,plan,learn,pretend,refuse,manage,help,agree,promise,prefer,如果不定式(宾语)后面有宾语补足语，则用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语(不定式)后置，放在宾语补足语后面，例如：
Marx found it important to study the situation in Russia. 马克思发现研究俄国的情况是很重要的。
动词不定式也可充当介词宾语，如：
I have no choice but to stay here. 我只能留在这里，别无选择。
He did nothing last Sunday but repair his bike. 他上周日除了修他的自行车什么也没干。
动词不定式前有时可与疑问词连用，如：

4.作宾语补足语：
在复合宾语中，动词不定式可充当宾语补足语，如下动词常跟这种复合宾语：want,wish,ask,tell,order,beg,permit,help,advise,persuade,allow,prepare,cause,force,call on,wait for,invite.
此外，介词有时也与这种复合宾语连用，如：
With a lot of work to do,he didn't go to the cinema. 他有很多工作要做，所以没去电影院。
有些动词如make,let,see,watch,hear,feel,have等与不带有to的不定式连用，但改为被动语态时，不定式要加to,如：
I saw him cross the road. 我看见他横过公路。
He was seen to cross the road. 他被我看见横过公路。
5.作定语：
动词不定式作定语，放在所修饰的名词或代词后。与所修饰名词有如下关系：
①动宾关系：
I have a meeting to attend. 我有一个会议要出席。
注意：不定式为不及物动词时，所修饰的名词如果是地点、工具等，应有必要的介词，如：
He found a good house to live in. 他找到了一个居住的好房子。

如果不定式修饰time,place,way，可以省略介词：

如果不定式所修饰名词是不定式动作承受者，不定式可用主动式也可用被动式：
Have you got anything to send? 你要送什么东西吗?
Have you got anything to be sent? 你有什么东西需要送吗?
②说明所修饰名词的内容：
We have made a plan to finish the work. 我们制定了一个完成工作的计划。
③被修饰名词是不定式逻辑主语：

6.作状语：
①表目的：
He worked day and night to get the money. 他夜以继日地工作来赚钱。

wrong：To learn English well,a dictionary is needed.

9.不定式的并列：第二个不定式可省略to。

agree to object to close to,come to,lead to,refer to,
equal to,familiar to,point to,thank to,devote to,next to,belong to,be used to,look forward to
2. 带to 还是不带to
I have no choice but to give in
I cannot do anything but give in
I saw him enter the classroom .
( 但是：He was seen to enter the classroom .)
3. 动词不定式逻辑主语是由for 作为标记的。但是有时用of .
区别：当使用for时，句中形容词修饰的是不定式;而用of时，句中形容词修饰逻辑主语。
It’s necessary for you to study hard .(necessary 修饰 to study hard，表示学习努力是有必要的)
It’s foolish of him to do it .(foolish 修饰逻辑主语him)
与of 连用的形容词有：
good,kind,nice,wise,clever,foolish,right,wrong,careful,careless,polite,…

want,hope,wish,like,begin,try,need,forget,agree,know,promise,teach,refuse,help,arrange,dare,decide,determine,fail,manage,offer,prepare,continue,ask,mean,choose,expect etc.
需要宾语补足语的动词不能用动词不定式直接做介词的宾语，而要用it做形式宾语。例如：通常不说We think to obey the laws is important . 而说We think it important to obey the laws .
5.不定式作宾语补足语时省略to的情况：若不定式前的谓语动词是使役动词make，let，have(表示“让、使”)、感官动词see，watch，look at，observe， notice，hear，listen to， feel时，不定式符号to可以省略。这些动词亦可总结为口诀：“三使五看两听一感觉”。例如：

注：改为被动句时要把to还原，例如：
The thief was seentosteal a lady’s cellphone.
6.不定式的省略。下列短语中，如果意义明确，常常省略到to。

2)主谓关系：

这种结构中常用的.形容词有：
