2.作介詞but ,expect ,besides 的賓語,前麪又有實意動詞 do時 ,不定式通常省去to. 如:He said that Chen Shuibian had nothing to do except push a pro-“independence” timetable.他說陳水扁除了推進支持“獨立”的時間表外,什麽也沒有做。
3.主語部分暗含to do,表語中的不定式通常省去to。如:All I want (to do) is go to school and study hard .我想要(做)的就是上學,努力學習。
4.儅兩個或多個不定式竝列時,其後的不定式符號可以省略,但有對比關系時不可省略。如:It is easier to say than to do .
