Next 5 Miles…
Definition
» An infinitive is the word “to” plus
the base form of a verb.
» It often functions as a noun, as
either a subject or a direct object.
» It can also function as an adjective
or adverb.
» It is not a preposition.
Formula:
»To + Verb
Infinitive Phrases
» An infinitive phrase is a group of
words that includes an infinitive
and any other words to complete
its meaning.
» Ex) To fly a plane was her goal.
» To fly is the infinitive (to + verb)
» To fly a plane is the infinitive
phrase.
Examples:
» I wanted to run out the door when
the teacher announced a pop quiz.
» I tried to think of an excuse, but
my mind drew a blank and so I
was forced to baby-sit for my
bratty cousin.
Non-Example
» I went to the store with my two
year old brother, Jake.
» The above examples are not
infinitives. “To the store” is a
prepositional phrase. “two” is not
“to.”

the infinitive phrase. Double underline the infinitive.
