Infinitives

What is an infinitive? An infinitive is the word “to” plus the base form of a verb. It often functions as a noun, a subject or a direct object. Can also function as an adjective or an adverb. Even though “to” is a preposition, it is NOT a preposition when it is combined with the base form of a verb; it is an infinitive.

ALL of these are infinitives! To sing To dance To go To play To teach To work ALL of these are infinitives!

Remember… Infinitives are easily recognized because of the word “to” + the verb. An infinitive will ALMOST ALWAYS begin with “to” followed by the simple form of the verb.

Don’t forget... FORMULA TO + VERB (base form) = INFINITIVE NOTE: You cannot add s, es, ed, or ing to the end. Ever!

PRACTICE: Identify the infinitive. He wanted to watch the dog in the yard. The coach taught him to hit a curve ball. The student had to write a report about the famous detective. No one wants to hear from you. I would like to teach high school English one day.
