下列副詞常獨立于句首，用來表示說話人的觀點作后面句子的狀語：

2．turn out“結果，最后情況是……”

4．even though l can't see anything.……盡管我不能看到一切。

本句型常用來說明句子主語的性質或特征。動詞不定式與句子的主語之間常有一種邏輯上的動賓關系，即句子的主語通常是該不定式的邏輯主語。
(1)若句子的主語與及物動詞的不定式在邏輯上有動賓關系，不定式就不能再帶有賓語。
The question is difficult to answer(to answer the question).這問題難回答。
(2)本句型中的不定式如果是不及物動詞，則要注意使用相應的介詞。

典型例題
【基礎題】
★★例1 The question is very important. It really needs___________.
A．discussing carefully B．being discussed carefully
C．to discuss carefully D．carefully to be discussing
導析：本題考查動詞need的用法。動詞need作“需要”解時，后面可接不定式的被動結構或動名詞的主動結構作其賓語。答案：A
★★例2
-Do you know Jim quarrelled with his brother?
--I don't know,___________．
A．nor don't I care B．nor do I care C．I don't care neither D．I don't care also
導析：nor, neither, so用于句首時，句子形成倒裝。 nor和neither用于否定句表示“也不”；so用于肯定句，表示“也”。答案：B
★★例3 The chair looks rather hard, but in fact it is very comfortable to___________．
A．sit B．sit on
C．be sat D．be sat on
導析：本題考查不定式作狀語的用法。在“名詞(代詞)+be +adj.(easy
difficult, comfortable等)+不定式”句型中，不定式常是主動形式表示被動意義。如果不定式為不及物動詞時，后面要加上必要的介詞。答案：B
【易錯題】
★★★例Only when the war was over ___________to his hometown.
A．did the young soldier return B．the young soldier returned
C．returned the young soldier D．the young soldier did return.
導析：本題考查的是“only+狀語”放在句首的倒裝句。以only開頭的句子(后面為副詞、介詞短語或狀語從句)時，句子需用部分倒裝。答案：A
【創新題】
★★例1
-Would you rather go to the cinema or stay at home watching TV?
__________the film is good, I will stay and watch TV.
A．No matter how B．Even though
C．If D．In spite of
導析：本題考查連詞的用法。根據答語“I'll stay at home watching TV”(我要在家看電視)這一語境，可推斷答語前半句應是“即使電影好”，故正確答案為Even though。選項D也表示“即使”的意思，但其后必須接名詞，不能接從句。答案：B
★★例2
--Take this medicine, please.
--Do I have to? It tasted________.
A．horrible B．horribly
C．being horrible D．like horrible
導析：本題考查系動詞的用法。題中tasted可作及物動詞，意為“品嘗”，也可作系動詞，意為“嘗起來”。根據語境，此處作系動詞，后面應跟形容詞作表語。因此最佳答案為horrible。有相同用法的系動詞還有feel、smell、look、sound。答案：A
【高考題】
★★例1(1995年，全國)Not until all the fish died in the river, __________how serious the pollution is.
A．did the villagers realize B．the villagers realized
C．the villagers did realize D．didn't the villagers realize
導析：Not until引導狀語從句用于句首時，主句半倒裝。又因為Not...until句型中的not放在句首，所以主句部分不用否定句。答案：A
★★例2(2000年，全國春季)I finally got the job I dreamed about. Never in all my life __________so happy.
A．did I feel B．I felt C．I had felt D．had I felt
導析：當表示否定意義的詞，如hardly, seldom, never, little, no, not, not only, not until等，放在句首時，句子需用部分倒裝。答案：D
