5. Question words before to-infinitive
We can use question words who, what, where, when, how before a to-infinitive to
express a situation that it is difficult or uncertain.
Example:
We don’t know who we should contact.
→ We don’t know who to contact.
We often use the verbs ask, wonder, (not) be sure, have no idea, (not) know, (not)
decide, (not) tell before the question word + to-infinitive.
Example: I have no idea where to get this information.
6. Used to
We use used to + infinitive to talk about a past situation that is no longer true. It tells
us that there was a repeated action or state in the past which has now changed.
Example: She used to be a long-distance runner when she was younger.
He used to play football for the local team, but he’s too old now.
Did you use to come here as a child?
7. “Wish” clauses
We use wish with a that-clause when we regret or are sorry that things are not
different. We imagine a different past or present:
I wish (that) I had his mobile phone number; we could tell him the good news.
I wish (that) you hadn’t told me how the film ends. You’ve spoilt it for me.
I wish (that) she would come with us tomorrow.
8. Passive voice: Impersonal passive
Examples:
People say that children are afraid of ghosts.
= It is said that children are afraid of ghosts.
- The rule:
It + passive construction + that-clause.
Example: The students say that the exam was easy.
= It is said that the exam was easy .
S + passive construction + to + inf.
Example: The students say that the exam was easy.
= The exam is said to have been easy.
