不定詞作名詞修飾語

不定詞(infinitives)與prepositional phrase相似,它可作名詞修飾語,如:

The best way to prevent cancer is healthy diet. 

句中的to prevent cancer便是修飾way的. 

其他例子:

the party after the lesson to celebrate Christmas

the best place in Hong Kong to eat Japanese cuisine

留意，adjectival infinitive有個特徵，就係佢個subject往往不是佢修飾的名詞.例如在上面那兩句, the party to celebrate Christmas, 誰celebrate?當然不是the party,而係學生, students,或whatever. the best place to eat Japanese cuisine, to eat Japanese cuisine當然不是the best place,係人,遊客。
