不定式作表语
1、一种情况为主语是不定式(表示条件)，表语也是不定式(表示结果)
To see is to believe/ To ork means to earn a living.
2、另一种情况主语是以aim, duty, hope, idea, happiness, job, plan, problem, purpose, thing, ish等为中心的名词,或以hat引导的名词性从句，不定式表语对主语起补充说明作用
His ish is to buy a luxurious car in the near future. / The boss’s plan is to start building the skycraper immediately. / What I ant to say is to get rid of the plan forever.

12) The most important [A] thing is negociate [B] ith them about [C] the future of [D] the plant.
3、因为不定式所修饰的名词是不定式的宾语，所以如果不定式动词是不及物动词，那么就要在动词后加上相应的介词He has a lot of trifles to deal ith./ I had got no place to live in./That girl has nothing to orry about./the subject to concentrate on. / He has a strict teacher to listen to. / She has four children to look after. / She had a sick mother to live ith. / This is the very person to sell your ticket to.
