Today we are going to learn a new grammar point. We have joined the training to be skilled in ICT. What do the underlined words indicate in Grammar & what does it mean? INFINITIVE

After this session, the students will be able to… * Learn the writing skill * Define the functions of infinitive * Make sentences using infinitive properly LEARNING OUT COMES

The infinitive is the base form of a verb. In English, when we talk about the infinitive we are usually referring to the present infinitive, which is the most common. The infinitive has two forms: * the to-infinitive = to + base (e.g. This is a chair to sit on. ) * the zero infinitive = base (e.g. I saw the boy do the work. ) Let’s start learning

ZERO INFINITIVE The following verbs omit the ‘to’ used before the base- Let, Make, See, Watch, Need, Dare, Hear. e.g. * Let him go. * You need not do the work. * How dare you say so?

FUNCTION:- The function of infinitives is to express purpose or opinion of an action.
