Неличная форма глагола, обозначающая действие или состояние, но не указывающая ни действующего лица, ни числа, ни наклонения, называются инфинитивом. Инфинитив отвечает на вопросы: что делать? Что сделать? – to read - читать, прочитать,to walk - гулять, погулять.
Формальным признаком инфинитива является частица to, которая самостоятельного значения не имеет и иногда опускается.
Инфинитив, как и другие неличные формы, обладает глагольными и именными свойствами.
Глагольные свойства инфинитива
Инфинитив переходного глагола может иметь прямое дополнение:
Father likes to read the newspapers Папа любит читать газеты
in the morning по утрам.
I must write a letter to my mother Я должна написать письмо маме.
Инфинитив может определяться обстоятельством:
The boy likes to run quickly. Мальчик любит быстро бегать.
Инфинитив имеет формы залога, а также и формы времени, в отличие от русского языка.
Переходные глаголы имеют четыре формы инфинитива в действительном залоге (Active Voice) и две формы в страдательном залоге (Passive Voice).
Наиболее употребительными являются формы Indefinite Infinitive и Perfect Infinitive в Active и passive Voice.
Форма Indefinite Infinitive Active состоит из основы глагола + частица to (to ask, to walk).
Форма Indefinite Infinitive Passive образуется при помощи инфинитива вспомогательного глагола to be и формы причастия прошедшего времени смыслового глагола (Participle II): to be asked, to be walked.
Форма Continuous Infinitive Active образуется при помощи инфинитива вспомогательного глагола to be и формы причастия настоящего времени смыслового глагола (Participle I) to be asking, to be walking.
Форма Perfect Infinitive Active образуется при помощи инфинитива вспомогательного глагола to have и причастия II смыслового глагола: to have asked, to have walked.
Форма Perfect Infinitive Passive образуется при помощи Perfect Infinitive вспомогательного глагола to be и причастия II смыслового глагола: to have been asked, to have been invited.
They were delighted to have been Они были в восторге, что их
invited to tea. пригласили на чай.
форма Perfect Continuous Infinitive Active образуется при помощи Perfect Infinitive вспомогательного глагола to be- to have been и формы Participle I смыслового глагола: to have been asking.
Отрицательная частица not во всех формах ставится перед инфинитивом: not to ask, not to be asked, not to be asking, not to have asked…
He was glad not to have been Он был рад, что ему не отказали
refused this job в этой работе.
I’ve told you a hundred times not Я говорил тебе сто раз не просить
to ask me for money. у меня денег.
