n инфинитив (1). Инфинитив без частицы to употребляется:
a) после всех модальных глаголов, кроме модальных глаголов to have, to be, ought;

b) после модальных конструкций have better, would rather, needn't, и глагола to dare;

d) после подлежащих, выраженных придаточным предложением, которое начинается с what и all:

All he had to do was open the door;

e) в конструкции сложного дополнения с глаголами чувств: to see, to hear, to feel, to notice, to observe, to watch, to listen в форме активного залога (в форме пассивного залога со всеми этими глаголами инфинитив употребляется с частицей to:

We saw him cross the street, ср., однако, Не was seen to cross the street);

f) после глаголов to make и to let в конструкции Complex Object;

g) после глагола to help.
(2). Инфинитив с частицей to употребляется:
a) в конструкции Complex Object (smb to do smth ) после глаголов to allow, to enable, to expect, to like, to mean, to prefer, to want;

b) в конструкции с наречиями too и enough и последующим прилагательным:

(4). Инфинитив употребляется после ряда существительных, таких как: ability, attempt, chance, desire, failure, inability, need, opportunity, unwillingness, willingness. (5). Инфинитив употребляется с рядом глаголов для выражения цели, образуя бессоюзное словосочетание в отличие от русского языка, где в этих случаях употребляется придаточное предложение:
Не came to discuss the plan — Он пришел для того, чтобы обсудить этот план.
(6). Инфинитив образует три комплекса: Complex Object, Complex Subject и For-Complex. Complex Object соответствует русским придаточным предложениям. Complex Object состоит из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже и инфинитива. Complex Object употребляется после четырех групп глаголов: а) глаголов физического восприятия; b) глаголов повеления, побуждения; с) глаголов разрешения, запрещения; d) глаголов желания, ожидания, умственной деятельности (см. таблицу):
a) to see, to hear, to feel, to notice, to observe, to watch

smb, smth

do smth

b) to have, to make, to let

smb, smth

do smth

c) to expect, to like, to mean, to prefer, to understand, to want

smb, smth

to do smth

d) to allow, to forbid, to order

smb, smth

We watched him paint the fence — Мы наблюдали за тем, как он красил забор.

The sound of his steps made me start — Звук его шагов заставил меня вздрогнуть.
После глаголов групп с) и d) инфинитив употребляется с частицей to. Complex Subject состоит из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в именительном падеже и инфинитива с частицей to. В русское языке комплекс соответствует придаточному предложению, а его части — безличным главным предложениям:
She was seen to leave the house — Видели, как (что) она выходила из дома.

Не was said to be a good swimmer — Говорили, что он хороший пловец.
Глаголы в главном предложении, кроме глаголов to seem, to happen, to prove, to turn out, употребляются в пассивной форме (см. таблицу). Таковы конструкции:
Не didn't seem to have noticed anything unusual — Казалось, что он ничего необычного не заметил/замечает.

The ring was proved to have been stolen — Оказалось, что кольцо было украдено.

The dog is not likely to have been stolen — Собаку вряд ли украли.

Не is sure to come if he promised — Он обязательно приедет, если он обещал.
For-Complex состоит из предлога for, существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже и инфинитива. Местоимение или имя существительное является подлежащим инфинитива:
It is easier for him to phone than to write — Ему легче позвонить, чем написать.
For-Complex может выполнять в предложении разные функции, представленные в таблице ниже: Subject
It is bad for you to smoke so much. Вам вредно так много курить.

It will be best for her to see a doctor. Ей лучше всего показаться врачу.
Object

He thinks it best for you to stay here. Он думал, тебе лучше остаться здесь.
Attribute
