不定式的主部件是動(dòng)詞，自然也有時(shí)態(tài)，但僅有“三元”：一般式to do，進(jìn)行式to be doing，完成式to have done。其實(shí)還有to have been doing，但在此歸入完成式。

不定式的一般式to do，從時(shí)態(tài)意義上來說主要用來表示將來，此時(shí)不定式動(dòng)作后于謂語動(dòng)作發(fā)生；進(jìn)行式to be doing主要用來強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的正在進(jìn)行，此時(shí)不定式動(dòng)作與謂語動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生；完成式to have done，主要用來表示過去，此時(shí)不定式動(dòng)作先于謂語動(dòng)作發(fā)生。

我們來看例題：

1. When he the door，he found his keys were nowhere.

A. would open B. opened C. had open D. was to open

2.—In many developed countries，the elderly have already outnumbered children.

—Yes，and China is reported through a similar process of population aging，and at a faster pace.

A. to go B. to be going C. going D. to have gone

3. I am proud with Tom in 1789.

A. having sailing B. sailing

C. to have sailed D. to sail

上述三題，第一題答案選D，意思是當(dāng)他就要開門，鑰匙卻無處尋了。是過去時(shí)間里的“將來”。第二題答案選B。意思是報(bào)道的時(shí)候，人口老齡化依然在進(jìn)行中，因此選B比較恰當(dāng)，如果選D，則說明老齡化進(jìn)程已經(jīng)結(jié)束，與題意不符。第三題有明顯的過去時(shí)間，答案可以立即鎖定C項(xiàng)。

相較于一般式和進(jìn)行式，不定式的完成式在高考中出現(xiàn)幾率更高，做題時(shí)要避免與主句的完成時(shí)“重疊”，以下面兩例來說明：

4. Some of our industrial products have been said

advanced level.

A. to reach B. to be reaching

C. to have reached D. to have been reaching

5. Some of our industrial products may well be said

advanced level.

A. to reach B. to be reaching

C. to have reached D. to have been reaching

第四題中，主句謂語動(dòng)作已經(jīng)使用了完成時(shí)have been said，那么此時(shí)后續(xù)不定式動(dòng)作部分一般避免再重復(fù)使用完成時(shí)，因此此題可以立即排除CD兩項(xiàng)，而B項(xiàng)正在進(jìn)行，意思不符，選定答案A項(xiàng)。而同一題稍作變化，即變成第五題，其答案必須選擇C項(xiàng)，在這一題中，由于沒有完成時(shí)重疊的情況，此時(shí)只要考慮不定式本身應(yīng)選擇的時(shí)態(tài)，C項(xiàng)表示產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)達(dá)到很高的水平，符合題意。

英語中，不定式完成時(shí)主要有這樣四種呈現(xiàn)方式：

第一，在諸如happen，see，appear，prove，pretend，seem等動(dòng)詞后；

第二，在“主語 + be said + to have done/been”的結(jié)構(gòu)中，類似結(jié)構(gòu)有reported/thought/supposed/expected/believed/considered/known等；

第三，在諸如glad，happy，sad，disappointed，satisfied，sorry，surprised等形容詞后；

第四，在表虛擬的“be to have done”結(jié)構(gòu)中，以及表示“意圖，打算”之意的動(dòng)詞如hope，wish，expect，think，suppose，want，plan，agree，mean，try等用過去時(shí)之時(shí)，后接不定時(shí)完成時(shí)做賓語的結(jié)構(gòu)中，此時(shí)表達(dá)想做而未做的事情，但這種結(jié)構(gòu)更多地用had hoped/expected...等來表達(dá)虛擬。例如：They wished to have finished the work in two hours. = They had wished to finish the work in two hours. 均表示結(jié)果并未做到。請看例題：

6. I don’t know whether you happen ，but I’m going to study in the USA this September.

A.to be heard B.to be hearing

C.to hear D.to have heard

7. A woman and three children are said in the traffic accident.

A. to be injured B. to have been injured

C. having been injured D. being injured

8. I’m glad a visit to him last week.

A. to pay B. to have paid

C. to be paying D. to have been paid

9.—You should have told her about the meaning of the gesture.

—I meant ，but I had some unexpected guests.

A. to do B. to have C. doing D. doing so

上述四個(gè)例題分別對應(yīng)四種不定式完成時(shí)的呈現(xiàn)方式，答案為DBBB，其中最后一題的B選項(xiàng)to have后亦有省略用法，整體表達(dá)一種虛擬的情況，符合后半句揭示的含義。

不定式的“三元”時(shí)態(tài)，整體上不難，但對于其中的完成時(shí)則要格外注意，高考的考頻還是很高的，考生要養(yǎng)成不定式也要考慮時(shí)態(tài)意義的習(xí)慣。
