Infinitives The final verbal…..

Infinitives  are verbals which means they are verbs that act as other parts of speech.  Remember the other verbals? –Participles act as ADJECTIVES. –Gerunds act as NOUNS, which in turn act as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, objects of prepositions, and appositives.

Infinitives  act as nouns, adjectives, and adverbs  An infinitive is the TO form of a verb  The infinitive of run… is TO RUN  The infinitive of scream… is TO SCREAM  The infinitive of eat… is TO EAT

WARNING  Please note the difference between the following!  To THE MALL and to swim  One is an infinitive, and the other is a prepositional phrase. Do NOT get these confused.  If “to” is followed by a noun or pronoun, then it is a prepositional phrase. VERBALS ARE ABOUT VERBS!  If “to” is followed by a noun or pronoun, then it is a prepositional phrase. VERBALS ARE ABOUT VERBS!
