英语不定式是以to do something 形式出现,这里的to 是不定式符号，没有实在意义。然而, 一些动词与介词to 搭配构成短语，从形式上看，与不定式很相似，但是这里的to 后面应该接-ing 动名词短语。下面列举一些常见的搭配形式。
1.look forward to 盼望；期待(通常以愉快的心情）
We're looking forward to seeing you very soon.
我们盼望很快再见到你。
2.be /become used to 习惯于；适应于
I'm not used to being spoken to in that rude way.
我不习惯于别人对我那样粗鲁地讲话。
注意：used to do 与be / become used to doing 的区别。前者指过去经常的习惯(indicating a constant or frequent practice in the past) ，后面接原形动词构成不定式形式，后者指现在的习惯，接动名词构成介词短语。
此外，当be used 表示被动语态时，意思是“被使用，被用来",后面应该接不定式。如：Wood is often used to make paper. 木材常被用来造纸。
3.be / become accustomed to 习惯于
The boy has become accustomed to speaking English in public.
那孩子已经习惯于在公众面前说英语了。
4.object to 不赞成；反对
I object to being treated like an outsider.
我反对被当作局外人看待。
5.be opposed to 反对；反抗( 某人或某事)
I amvery much opposed to your going abroad.
我非常反对你出国。
6. be addicted to doing 沉溺于；嗜好

7. devote oneself / sth. to 奉献(自己、时间、精力等)；致力于；专心；专门；献身

8. dedicate oneself / sth. to 奉献； 贡献(时间、精力等以从事崇高的事业或目的)

10. subject oneself / sth. to 使遭受；使经历;使蒙受；使有⋯⋯之险

11. adapt oneself to 使适应；使配合
