Grammar Basics: What is an Infinitive?

An infinitive is formed from a verb but does not act as verb. It acts as a noun, adjective, or adverb. It is made up of two words: to + verb. These two words act together as a noun, adjective, or adverb. For eg. “I love to swim.” In this video, our expert IELTS Instructor works on some real IELTS questions that demonstrate the usage of infinitives. They are important in IELTS because they help you improve sentence formation and show a range of grammar in your sentences.
