不定式作狀語(yǔ)

1)目的狀語(yǔ)

To… only to (僅僅為了),in order to,so as to,so(such)… as to… (如此……以便……)

He ran so fast as to catch the first bus.他飛快地跑以便趕上第一班車。

I come here only to say good-bye to you.我來僅僅是向你告別。

2)作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)，表事先沒有預(yù)料到的，要放在句子后面。

典型例題

The chair looks rather hard, but in fact it is very comfortable to ___.

A. sit B. sit on C. be seat D. be sat on

答案：B.如果不定式為不及物動(dòng)詞，其后應(yīng)有必要的介詞。當(dāng)動(dòng)詞與介詞連用時(shí)，常位于"形容詞+動(dòng)詞不定式"結(jié)構(gòu)的末尾。
