Infinitives
• Verbs are words that are most
often used to name actions.
• Verbs in English have different
forms depending on who is doing
the action or when the action is
occurring:
• I walk, she walks, we walked, etc.
Infinitives
• The most basic form of a verb is
called the INFINITIVE.
• In English, you can spot infinitives
because they always have the word
“TO” in front of them:
• to swim, to read, to write
Infinitives
• Infinitives in Spanish, though, don’t
have a separate word like “to” in front
of them.
• Spanish infinitives are only one word,
and always end in -ar, -er, or -ir:
• Nadar
• Leer
• Escribir

answer a question in English.
