動(dòng)詞不定式和動(dòng)名詞在TOEEL測(cè)試中不算活躍的考題，但出題頻率比較穩(wěn)定，即不頻繁，亦無間斷。命題焦占主要集中在動(dòng)詞不定式和動(dòng)名詞的基本功能及正確形式，即（1）不定式to后面接原形動(dòng)詞，（2）動(dòng)名詞具有動(dòng)詞和名詞兩重功能，介詞后面的動(dòng)詞必須以動(dòng)名詞形式出現(xiàn)。不定式和動(dòng)名詞常考題型

　　(4) The dromedary camel is raised especially to racing. (91.1)

　　[答案] D這是一個(gè)非常簡(jiǎn)單的動(dòng)詞不定式錯(cuò)誤形式的考題。Recing應(yīng)改為race,與to組成不定式。

　　2. 動(dòng)詞不定式作目的狀語

　　解題要點(diǎn) 不定式結(jié)構(gòu)在句中可以作多種成分，目的狀語則是TOEEL常考到的形式。動(dòng)詞不定型式作目的狀語的命題主要分布在structure (1－15題）中。

　　(A) generating

　　(B) generates

　　3. 動(dòng)名詞的正確用法

　　解題要點(diǎn) 有關(guān)名詞的考題并不很多，但有一個(gè)常出現(xiàn)的題型；介詞后面的動(dòng)詞一定要用動(dòng)名詞形式，作介詞的賓語。
