不定式可以作定语。不定式在句中作定语,置于被修饰的名词或代词之后。如:①The next train to arrive is from Washington.下班车来自华盛顿。②Do you have anything to be taken to your sister?有什么需要带给你妹妹的么?
1) 一般式:一般现在时表示的动词,有时与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生,有时发生在谓语动词的动作之后。一般为:动词+ to do something

2) 完成式:表示的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前。
I'm sorry to have given you so much trouble.
He seems to have caught a cold.
3)进行式:表示动作正在进行,与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生。
He seems to be eating something.
4)完成进行式:
She is known to have been wreaking on the problem for many years.
一般在表示情绪的动词后加to do也表将来
