INFINITIVES

An infinitive is a to + verb structure. We use infinitives:

  1. After something, nothing, nowhere, anyone. I've got something to do.

  2. After question words (who, what, how, where) I didn't know what to say.

  3. After certain adjectives I'm pleased to see you.

  4. After certain verbs (see below). I want to give you something.

  5. To express purpose or result. I went to England to learn English

We use infinitives after these verbs:

decide intend promise afford

refuse arrange deserve learn

attempt manage tend threaten

want expect plan seem

pretend agree appear ask

decide offer promise wait

EXAMPLES

I don't expect to see you again.

I asked him to help me.
