"An Infinitive Phrase is a group of words consisting of an infinitive and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the actor(s), direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the infinitive."

OpenStudy (mr.z):

An infinitive phrase will begin with an infinitive (to + simple form of the verb). It will include objects and/or modifiers. Here are some examples: To smash a spider. To kick the ball past the dazed goalie. To lick the grease from his shiny fingers despite the disapproving glances of his girlfriend Gloria.
