Grammar
The infinitive of result or the infinitive of purpose
I give an example here
'Oxygen and Hydrogen combine to form Water'
here in the above example, I don't understand the usage of the infinitive. Is the infinitive used as an infinitive of a result or as an infinitive of purpose? I am confused. Please help me to understand.
