分享：自考英语语法不定式的三种形式

不定式的完成式、进行式和完成进行式：这三类在考题中出现的频率很高，要特别注意不定式的这三种形式。

1、如果不定式所表示的动作与主要谓语所表示的动作(状态)同时(或几乎同时)发生或发生在主要谓语之后，那么用不定式的一般形式

After all, eighty was a special birthday, another decade lived or endured just as you chose to look at it.

2、如果不定式所表示的动作(状态)发生在主要谓语动词或特定的某时间之前,那么不定式就要用其完成式

3)He was to the new ambassador, but he fell ill.
