不定詞の名詞的用法を使ってみよう

to 不定詞が名詞の働きをして、主語や補語、目的語になることができます。 to 不定詞の特徴は「一般論」であること。具体的で臨場感のある表現をしたい時には、 Getting along withなどと〜ingを使った方が効果的です。 ただし、wantやhopeなど、「その場所へ向かっていく」ようなニュアンスの動詞を用いる際には、 しっかりと強い思いが表現されます。 【回答例】 To get along with friends is difficult for me. 友達と仲良くするのは難しい I want to be an astronaut. 宇宙飛行士になりたいんだ
Please use an infinitive with a nominal usage.
