To answer your question may not only help you but may help others who have the same question.

(Bold words are part of the infinitive phrase.)

Infinitive phrases begin with "to." (Examples of infinitives: to run, to explain, to walk, etc.)

If and infinitive phrase contains five words or more a comma should be used to separate the phrase from the rest of the sentence.

Example: To understand the rules for comma usage, a student must study attentively.
