Yes, a sentence can end with an infinitive. For example, "I asked him to help."
An infinitive is the base form of a verb, combined with the word "to." It can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I want to eat," "to eat" is the infinitive form of the verb "eat."
"to eat" is an infinitive.
The infinitive is the base form of a verb, typically preceded by "to" (e.g., "to go," "to eat"). It is used in a sentence as the main verb, after modal verbs (such as can, must, may), or after certain verbs (such as want, need, like) to show the purpose or intention of an action.

No. There is never the subject of a sentence. It is usually part of the complete predicate. There behaves like a subject in: questions: Is there any thing to eat? To - infinitive clauses: I don't want there to be any mistakes. -ing clause: There being no further business the meeting was canceled. (this is a bit formal)
The infinitive is to eat; the past tense is ate; the past participle is eaten; the present participle is eating.
The three kinds of verbals are gerund, infinitive, and participle. Gerunds act as a noun but looks like a verb. In the sentence "Swimming is a form of exercise.", swimming is the gerund. Infinitive looks like a verb but used as an adverb, adjective, or noun. It is used together with "to". In the sentence "I don't like to eat that unless my nose is covered.", the infinitive in the sentence is "to eat". Lastly, participle looks like a verb but used as an adjective to describe a noun or pronoun. It ends with -ing, -ed, or -t. In the sentence "The crying and tired employees were sent home after the earthquake.", crying and tired are the participles
I want to eat ham.
In the sentence I want to open the can, can is the object of the verb "to open."The verb is "want." "To open the can" is an infinitive phrase, serving as the direct object of "want." The infinitive itself is "to open." "Can" is the object of the infinitive.
The infinitive form of verbs in English is the uninflected form - the 'to' form. All the finite forms (those forms that are inflected by number, person, voice, mood, and tense) are derived from it. For example: To eat (infinitive). He eats; We will eat; They had eaten; I shall not eat; You ate; She would be eating (all these are finite forms).
