Infinitives
An infinitive is a verb form in which no one is performing the action.
- In English, the word “to” always precedes the infinitive; for example: “to speak” is an infinitive.
- In French, an infinitive has one of 3 endings: “-er”, “-ir”, or “-re”. For example “manger” (to eat), partir (to leave), and prendre (to take).
