Infinitives after Verbs Infinitives after Verbs Infinitives after Adjectives Infinitives after Adjectives Infinitives of Purpose

1. The main verb before the infinitive can be in any tense a. Do you want to buy Coke? (simple present) b. Be quiet! I ’m trying to listen to the news. (present progressive) c. I began to read a novel two weeks ago. (simple past) d. Would you like to buy some candy? (conditional)

2. Depending on the meaning, in some negative sentences, not comes before the first verb. a. I do not know how to work this remote control. b. We are not planning to rent any movies this weekend. c. I did not know how to solve that problem until you called me.

3. In other sentences, not comes between the first verb and the infinitive. a. Try not to watch too much T.V. Remember that you have to do homework. b. I decided not to buy too many souvenirs when I went to Italy last summer. c. Remember not to eat too much while I am away from home.

4. Even if it is an object pronoun, the object of the main verb is also the subject (the doer of the action) of the infinitive. Look at the list of verbs at the end of p.46 a. I challenge you to speak English at all times. b. My aunt doesn’t allow me to go out tonight. c. I order them to type the report now.

1. Subject (nouns or pronouns) + verb “to be” + adjective + infinitive This pattern is used to describe a person’s feelings or attitudes. a. The students were happy to pass the course. b. Costa Ricans are pessimistic to see our national soccer team obtain good results in the World Cup Qualifiers. c. My girlfriend will be happy to announce our wedding tonight.

2. It (expletive) + verb to be + adjective + infinitive The expletive “it” means that it is impersonal. To know if this “it” is expletive or impersonal, look at these changes: a. It is important to speak English in this course. = To speak English in this course is important. b. Is it exciting to compete in a TV reality show? = Is competing in a TV reality show exciting?

1. In affirmative sentences, to = in order to a. Let’s go outside to get some fresh air. b. I need to go out this weekend to release from all the stress I have had recently. c. I need to study hard to pass this course.

2. In negative sentences, we use in order not to / so as not to + simple form of a verb a. The sign was removed in order not to offend the public. b. He put his keys in his pocket so as not to lose them. C. We have to study very hard in order not to / so as not to fail the course.
