Answer 8

I don't believe you are.

As an infinitive is a part of grammar, it is always to _____. Examples of infinitives are to be, to go, to love, etc. There is no 'to' in that fragment.

Answer 9

An infinitive phrase would be a phrase consisting of the infinitive and it's modifiers. Therefore, that answer is incorrect.

Answer 10

no , @gossss__e An infinitive phrase is the infinitive form of a verb plus any complements and modifiers. The complement of an infinitive verb will often be its direct object, and the modifier will often be an adverb. An infinitive phrase can play the role of a noun, an adjective, or an adverb.

Alright then. Maybe you are right. :P @word2
