If the verb is a regular verb then just remove the -ed ending eg
walked = walk, listened = listen, happened = happen

An infinitive is an unconjugated verb: no one is doing the action. For example, to walk is an infinitive; no one is doing the walking. I walk is conjugated to the first person; I am doing the walking.To is generally the sign of infinitive. To play, to sing, to watchI went to market to buy some books. He wishes to behappy.However, after certain verbs 'bare infinitive ' is used.I saw him walk down the hill. He heard me sing. (bare infinitive)
I imagine that by "base form" you mean the "infinitive" of a verb. If the infinitive does not have the preposition "to" before it, it is referred to as the "bare infinitive". At least, that's the terminology I've come across when teaching English to foreigners.
No, "bear" and "bare" are not homophones. "Bear" refers to the animal, while "bare" means uncovered or naked.
Yes, or Short/Bare Infinitive.
A bare infinitive is a linguistic term for the infinitive form of a verb, without the particle "to".
The infinitive "to read" is a bare infinitive.
The past tense of "bare" is "bared."
Bared is the past tense and past participle of bare.
This probably refers to the absence or presence of the infinitive marker "to." In the sentence "I must go" the infinitive ( "go") lacks the marker, while in the sentence "I want to go" the infinitive has it.
The two types of infinitives are the "bare infinitive" and the "to-infinitive." The bare infinitive is the base form of the verb without "to," often used after modal verbs (e.g., can, should). The to-infinitive includes "to" followed by the base form of the verb (e.g., to eat, to run) and is commonly used to express purpose or intention.
In English, there are two main types of infinitives: the "bare infinitive" and the "to-infinitive." The bare infinitive is the base form of the verb without "to" (e.g., "go," "see"), while the to-infinitive includes "to" followed by the base form of the verb (e.g., "to go," "to see"). Additionally, there are variations such as the split infinitive, where an adverb is placed between "to" and the verb (e.g., "to boldly go").

An infinitive is the base form of a verb, often preceded by the word "to," as in "to run" or "to eat." It functions as a noun, adjective, or adverb within a sentence. Infinitives can express actions or states of being without being tied to a specific subject or tense. In some contexts, infinitives can also appear without "to," known as bare infinitives, as in modal constructions (e.g., "can run").
