■ come to inf.

to come to inf. 原来意思是表示两个相继的动作（先来，来了后做某事，而且做某事是来的目的），但是在口语中，很少这样说，更多是说 come and inf. （而且这种说法即使 come 和后面的动词在形态上发生了变化仍然可以，这一点与 try and inf. 和 wait and inf. 不同）。

• Come and have a drink.来喝点东西吧。
• He came and had a drink（不说 came to have）.他来喝了点东西。
• He often comes and spends the evening with us（不说 comes to spend）.他常常来同我们一起度过傍晚

参见 go and inf., hurry up and inf., stay and inf.。这种以 and 代替 to 的用法，甚至扩大到另外一些句子。

• I would like to take a minute and thank (不说 take a minute to thank) all those who have helped me make the project successful.我要抽出一分钟的时间，感谢所有帮助过我成功完成这个项目的人士。
