The infinitive is the for of a verb that is its main entry in a dictionary.
The infinitive is used in many places, such as after a modal verb:
He should come today.
We must listen to him.
The verb "be" is a verb that can come after a modal:
He might be there.
She will be beautiful.
Joe can be good when he wants to.
