What is an infinitive? Why and how do we use them in English? Can you give 2 or 3 examples?
Infinitives come after verbs, and we create them with the word "to" and then the verb, with no conjugation. We use them to complete the main verb of a sentence or give more information. Example: I like. What? I like to play hockey.
