Hi, drivera, Thanks for joining us. Welcome to English Forums. I'd suggest asking yourself whether your problem lies more with your understanding of infinitives or with your understanding of subjects and objects.

  • The subject is the actor, or who/what the sentence/clause is all about.
  • (Infinitives and present participles (gerunds) work about the same when functioning as subjects and objects) : Subject of the sentence: Skateboarding is fun.
