4 II. GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Infinitive Phrases (5-6 minutes) An infinitive is a kind of verbal made up of the word to +present tense( base form) of the verb. We can use an infinitive as a noun, adjective, or adverb. An infinitive phrase consists of an infinitive plus any modifier, object, complement, or actor. I have a party to attend tomorrow. To attend modifies the word party. We intended to go home early. To go home early is the direct object of the verb intended. His ambition is to dance in Hollywood. To dance is the subject complement of the word ambition. Everyone wants Taylor to be a model. To be a model acts as an object complement describing the direct object, Taylor. There are verbs that take infinitive objects without actors e.g. agree, learn, remember, plan, promised, begin, etc. Most students failed to study. Hiro promised to pay today. On the other hand, there are verbs that take infinitive objects with actors e.g. allow, force, invite, encourage, remind, teach, etc. He teaches me to speak English. Mom reminded Mark to lock the door. There are also verbs that use either pattern e.g. ask, expect, want, need, etc Kumiko wants to leave early Kumiko wants me to leave early. 4

Infinitives: to sing, to dance, to believe, to love Prepositional Phrases: to them, to the family, to the sea, to this place 2. If the infinitive is used as an adverb placed as a beginning phrase in a sentence comma should be used; otherwise, there s no need for punctuation. To see the city lights, Mike went to the rooftop.
