最近看了一段话：
The Forms of “To Be”
The Greek sea god, Proteus, was (like the sea) capable of changing form in an instant. In order to get any decent information out of him, you had to grab him and hold on tight while he went through his various forms — lion, wild boar, snake, tree, running stream — it wasn't easy. The verb “To be” is said to be the most protean of the English language, constantly changing form, sometimes without much of a discernible pattern. Considering that we use it so often, it is really too bad that the verb “To be” has to be the most irregular, slippery verb in the language.
为什么每次提到“be”不直接说“be”？而一提be就是“to be”，看了好多都这样。

"to work" "to write"为什么这样表示？

Be，英语单词，俗称“be动词”，根据时态语态变化为is、am、are或保留原型be，与动词的现在分词连用，构成各种进行时态，常作系动词、助动词，被动语态中可表被动等。
当做主动词时，“be”在性质上属于接系动词(The Linking Verb), 后面要有名词、形容词、地方副词或短语作补足语(The Complement)。
例如：The man is a science teacher.这个男子是一位科学教师。
做主语，可以用to be，也可以用being,美国人比较喜欢用to be，更地道一些。
动词如果要单独表示出来的话前面都要加to，表明它是个动词
这是动词不定式的表示方法。be动词在没有时态变化时，也就是不变am，is，are，就是原形，它的用法和一般的动词也是相似的，所以都要加to。
还有就是本身就是要加to的地方，像是have to do/be。
