What is the definition of an infinitive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure what the definition is

OpenStudy (esshotwired):

Ok so a gerund is pretty much just a noun that ends in -ing. For example, 'Swimming is so much fun.' swimming would be the gerund in this sentence. Participle is a verb usually ends in -ing or -ed and it acts as a noun. For example, 'Jamie saw her sister walking on the shore.' walking would be the participle. An infinitive is the word 'to' with a verb after it. idk how else to put it but for an example, 'I like to run around' the 'to run' is the infinitive in that sentence. Then I hope you know what an adverb is... if you dont I can tell you that too. So from these, which one do you find in the sentence?
