Infinitives
“To Verb”
What are infinitives?
• 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:
– Ie.  I walk, she walked, they have walked
• The most basic form a verb is called the
infinitive
• In English, they are very easy to spot,
because they have “to” in front of them:
– Ie.  to swim, to read, to eat
• Infinitives in Spanish don’t have a word in
front of them
• In Spanish, infinitives are only one word,
and end in either –ar, -er, or –ir.
• Escuchar
• Comer
• Escribir
