An infinitive phrase is a group of words that begins with an infinitive (to + verb) and can function as a noun in a sentence. It can act as a subject, direct object, subject complement, or object of a preposition, which are typical functions of a noun. This flexibility allows the infinitive phrase to be classified as a noun.
An infinitive phrase can takes the place of a noun by being put in the place of the subject of a sentence.For example in the following sentence an infinitive phrase takes the place of a noun:To neglect your education is a terrible thing.
An infinitive is to + simple form of a verb. It often acts as a noun, adjective, or adverb. Because of this, an infinitive is never the main verb in a sentence.The dog has been locked in the house all day. She wants to run in the yard.
Yes. Infinitive verbs are verbs which do not indicate a number or a tense. "To come" is an infinitive form of the verb, as is "coming" because these forms do not indicate the number of people or things which are "to come", nor do these forms indicate when the "coming" happens. (All English infinitives start with "to" or end with "-ing".)
In an infinitive phrase, it is always a preposition, and something you can do. For example: I like to think about my family. In this sentence to think is an infinitive phrase, and about my family is a prepositional phrase. to think, to be, to run, to do, to rescue, are all some of the MANY infinitives. Think this when you are trying to figure out if it is an infinitive phrase: to and something you can do! If it is something you can do after the preposition, then it is an INFINITIVE!
