Question

两个语法问题，帮忙看一下，谢谢

Before I had even waved goodbye at passport control I had started the mental audit of projects to abandon
不定式做定语和做宾语补足语的区别(to abondon 是定语还是宾补)
在名词所有格中到底修饰的是那部分（to abondon 修饰的是projects还是mental audit)

Answer 1

这句句子应该是I had started to abandon the mental audit of projects.只不过由于宾语太长，容易搞混，所以才将宾语提到前面来。因此这里to abandon既不是定语也不是宾补，而是具体说明start的。所以第二个问题也清楚了，to abandon既不是修饰projects也不是修饰mental audit的

区分定语和宾补的方法：
定语是修饰名词的句子成分，名词不一定是宾语，也可能是主语、表语
宾语补足语是补充说明宾语的句子成分，与宾语有关系
判断宾补的依据就是看后面的成分与宾语的关系，有主表关系或主谓关系的就是宾补，否则就不是宾补
不定式可以作定语但是要放在整个句子之前或是名词之后而不是在宾语之后如：
The next train to arrive is from Washington.

Answer 2

to abondon 是定语 因为与所修饰词 是动宾关系
如果是宾补 与 宾语 应该是 主谓关系

to abondon 修饰的是projects 共同作介词of 的宾语 构成介词短语
of 短语 修饰 mental audit

动词不定式做宾语补足语可分为带 to 和不带 to 两种情况。
（1）当动词不定式跟在 wish ,expect , allow ,permit ,ask ,teach,persuade ,believe ,invite ,order 等之后是需用动词不定式做宾语。
Eg Mother don't allow us to play on the street.
Parents wished us to go to key university in the future.
We persuaded him to give up his silly ideas.
(2) 当动词不定位于这些动词 feel listen to, hear ,let ,have ,make ,see ,watch ,notice,observe 时则不带to. 简单的总结一句话 ： 一感 二听 三让 四看
Eg. We saw the children play on the river bank.
I felt someone walk into the room.
The boss let the worker carry the heavy boxes.
注意当这些动词用于被动时，必须带上动词不定式符号 to.
Mrs Green made his children stay at home.
His children were made t o stay at home.
5.动词不定式做定语
(1)动词不定式做定语常常放在被修饰的名词的后面，表示将来的一个动作。
I have a lot of work to do
There is nothing to do this weekend .
动词不定式做定语常常和所修饰的名词构成了逻辑关系
所修饰的名词为不定式的逻辑主语，则构成了主谓关系;若名词为不定式的逻辑宾语，则构成了动宾关系
Eg. He is the first to come and the last to leave.
He is not the man to tell lies
I want to get something to drink.- drink something
She has nothing to worry about - worry about nothing.
(2)动词不定式与所修饰的名词构成动宾关系。且该动词为不及物动词时，需加上相应的介词
Eg. He had a room to live in
The children got a red pen to write with
Have you got a chair to sit on

而to abondon 是动宾关系 所以是定语

由于句子中有of 短语 构成介词短语修饰 mental audit
所以to abondon 修饰的是projects

Answer 4

to abondon 是后置定语
