​An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the word to plus a verb (in its simplest "stem" form) and functioning as a noun, adjective, or adverb. Although an infinitive is easy to locate because of the to + verb form, deciding what function it has in a sentence can sometimes be confusing.

EXAMPLE

• ​the to-infinitive = to + base

• the zero infinitive = base

example

• ​no-s!

• ​no -ed!

• ​no -ing!
