The infinitive describes an action, but unlike a regular verb, it is not limited in any way.
An infinitive is the basic form of the verb + "to".
Examples: to buy, to fish, to run, to watch, to tell, and so forth.
- I want to eat.
- They asked us to run.
- "To be, or not to be – that is the question."
Infinitives are often used when actions are unreal, general, or future.
Examples:
- Luis agreed to leave.
- I hope to see you soon.
- She promised to stop smoking.
