UNIT 4 GOING AWAY

INFINITIVES:

Infinitive is a grammatical term used to refer to certain verb forms that exist in many languages. As with many linguistic concepts, there is not a single definition applicable to all languages. The word is derived from Late Latin infinitivus, a derivative of infinitus meaning "infinite". Infinitives are used mostly as non-finite verbs.

The infinitive form of a verb is usually preceded by "to" (e.g., to run, to dance, to think). The word "to" is not a preposition in this case; it is often called the "sign of the infinitive". An infinitive can be used as a noun, an adjective or an adverb.

EXAMPLES:

To dance was his ambition.

They need water to drink.

The officer returned to help.
