二“特殊疑问词＋动词不定式”这种结构可以把复合句转为简单句。

如： I don’t know what I’ll do next. = I don’t know what to do next.

The doctor told him when he should take the medicine. = The doctor told him when to take the medicine.

同样，因为“特殊疑问词＋动词不定式”这种结构相当于一个名词性从句，所以可用同等成分的从句代替，从而把简单句转换为复合句。改写时只需在疑问词后加上适当的主语，并把不定式改为适当的形式的谓语即可。如：

Which to choose is important. = Which we should choose is important.

The question is where to go. = The question is where we should go.

三、“特殊疑问词＋动词不定式”这种结构可构成独立问句。如：What to do? 怎么办？How to get rid of the trouble? 如何摆脱困境？

注意

按照英语语法的习惯，疑问副词why 后不直接跟动词不定式，如：

误：I don’t know why to choose that dictionary.

正：I don’t know why you must choose that dictionary.

但它可以接不带to的动词不定式，即动词原形，构成why do sth./ why not do sth. 肯定形式是表示某动作是不必要的或没有意义的，而否定形式是表示向某人提建议和表达看法，相当于祈使句。

Today is Sunday. Why not go out to relax yourself?
