Can you see a pattern in the example
of the words which are infinitives?
All of the examples I have shown fall under
what part of speech?
Here are some parts of speech in case you did not
know!:
Noun (sustantivo)
Pronoun (pronombre)
Article (artículo)
Verb (verbo)
Adverb (adverbio)
Infinitives are Verbs
Each of the examples I gave you are examples
of an action which a person can do. For this
reason the part of speech they fall under is
VERBOS.
( Just write what I tell you to write
here)
What do we use infinitives for?
Very simply put, infinitives are just verbs that
have not been conjugated. An example of an
infinitive from English would be to smell.
Because the word to is in front of the action,
we do not know who is doing the action. The
action is standing alone. When you do not
have a person displaying the action of the
verb, that verb is not conjugated. A verb
which is not conjugated is an infinitive!
When do we even use these things?
You use an infinitive any time you have just
used a conjugated verb. The example from
the chapter is: What do you like to do?
(infinitivo)
(conjugated verb)
So without knowing this, we have been using infinitives since
we were forming sentences!
