9. Infinitives: textbook p. 64
Look at the list of infinitives in the first paragraph on p. 64 (words in bold). What do they end with?
Infinitives have no subject pronoun because they simply state the meaning of the verb.
Put an infinitive after “J’aime…” or “Tu aimes…”, etc.
An infinitive translates as “to verb”
