前有do后无to的用法。具体参考如下:(1)连词连接两不定式前面的有do后面的todo的to省略,如:IhavenothingtodobutwatchTValldaylong.短语:havenothingtodobutdo….Tomhavenochoicebuttogiveitup.短语:havenochoicebuttodo在nothingbut句型中,有do无to是指nothing前有do的任何形式出现,but后的动词前就不能出现to,如:Hedidnothingbutpiddleawaythetime.他不做事,只是混日子。Hecoulddonothingbutstandandwonder.他只得惊奇地站著不动。Jimdoesnothingbutplaybasketballinthemorning.NowIwantnothingbuttogoofftotheWesternHills.Thismanlivesfornothingbuttogathermoney.这个人的一生除了聚财以外别无目地。Jimchosenothingbuttobuyabasketballthatmorning.(2)用is连接,不定式作表语时前面主语有do时后面表语todo的to省略,如:WhatIwanttodoisstayathome.WhatIwanttodonextSundayisseemygrandparents.Theonlythingthathecandoiswait.WhatIwantistostaywithyou.(3)注意这里说的前有do后无to的前面的do要是实意动词do,不能是助动词do自测题:1.Hedidnothingbut____.A.sleepingB.tosleepC.sleptD.sleep2.Hesaidnothingbut____there.A.stoodB.standC.standingD.tostand3.Ihavenochoicebut____upthisbadbehavior.A.giveB.togiveC.givingD.given
