How many Infinitives are there? Simply put, there are three types of infinitives that one can use to describe a noun. –Present Infinitives –Past (Perfect) Infinitives –Future Infinitives The reason there are only 3 infinitives is because there are 3 times when an action could occur: now, before or later. (n.b. Infinitives follow RELATIVE tense)
