@YoungStudier What is an infinitive anyway?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are words which replace nouns without specifying which noun they replace. Singular: another, anybody, anyone, anything, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, little, much, neither, nobody, no one, nothing, one, other, somebody, someone, something. Plural: both, few, many, others, several.

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

An infinitive is a verb form that usually begins with "to". IT is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. An infinitive phrase is an infinitive with its modifiers and complements-all working together as a noun, adjective, or an adverb.
