Infinitive
Sir
this is a paragraph from a internet -----
To sneeze, to smash, to cry, to shriek, to jump, to dunk, to read, to eat, to slurp--
all of these are infinitives.
An infinitive will almost always begin with to followed by the simple form of the verb.
Important Note: Because an infinitive is not a verb, you cannot add -s, -es, -ed, or -ing to the end. Ever!
Sir , "Because an infinitive is not a verb" , do you agree that infinitive is not a verb.
Thanks.
