VERB + INFINITIVE
What is a verb in the infinitive?
Infinitive verbs are those that are presented in a non-conjugated form, that is, they do
not refer to any tense or verbal mode. Not surprisingly, infinitives are part of the three
non-personal forms of verbs (they are not associated with any doer of the action). These
forms are: INFINITIVE, GERUND and PARTICIPLE.
Some examples to better identify them, in their simple form, are the following:
In addition, the infinitive and the gerund have their compound forms using the verb
haber as an auxiliary. Examples:
Furthermore, as has been noted in the examples, the infinitive in its simple form is used
to name verbs. Thus, it is said, for example: the verb to sing; the verb sang or we sang
is not said.
What types of infinitive verbs are there?
The infinitives and, therefore, the names of the verbs are classified according to their
endings. In Spanish, verbs are classified into three conjugations that correspond to the
three possible endings of their infinitives:
In the following table, lists of verbs that belong to each of the three groups are organized
by conjugation and in alphabetical order.
What role do they serve in the sentence?
Like nouns, infinitives can have various functions within sentences. The following
lines show these functions and an example to clarify a little better what it would be like
to have an infinitive in each of them:
• SUBJECT: responsible for the action set out in the predicate. Example:
•ATRIBUTO: cualidad que se da del sujeto tras el uso de un verbo copulativo (ser,
estar o parecer). Ejemplo:
•DIRECT COMPLEMENT: in sentences with transitive verbs it is about that on

which the action of the subject falls. Example:
•COMPLEMENT OF THE NOUN, OF THE ADJECTIVE OR OF THE

ADVERB: they accompany these other words to specify their meaning. Example:
The infinitive is the part of the verb that you will most commonly find in dictionaries.
Name a particular activity without saying when it happens; in other words, it only
explains what is described. It can't show number, mood, time or person. It is best
translated into English with the word 'to': speak, show, break, cook, etc.
In Spanish, the infinitive will end in one of three ways: -ar, -ir, or –ir. In some cases,
like laughing or frying, the vowel carries an accent.
Here are some random examples: open (come), arrive, (arrive), eat (eat).
•need + infinitive - need to do something.
I need to study. I need to study.

You need to clean your room. You need to clean your room.
She needs to go to the store. She needs to go to the store.
He needs to wash the car. He has to wash the car.
We need to take care of the dog. We have to take care of the dog.
You need to pay for the taxi. You have to pay the taxi.
You need to find the money. You have to find the money.
They need to practice the instruments. They need to practice the instruments.
•go to + infinitive = go to do something
go to + infinitive = go to do something (in the near future)
I'm going to take my sister to her house. I'm going to take my sister to her house.
You're going to invite a lot of girls. You're going to invite a lot of girls.
Cristina is going to talk to my mom. Christina is going to talk to my mom.
Eduardo is going to read the book. Edward goes to read the book.
To + infinitive.
How do we know when to use ‘to + infinitive’ (to know, to see, to find etc), and not the
gerund or the bare infinitive? It can be difficult to know, but we have three rules as to
when we use the ‘to + infinitive’.
When to use ‘to + infinitive’

We use ‘to + infinitive’ after specific verbs. (ask to go, plan to find etc.).
We use ‘to + infinitive’ after most adjectives to give a reason. (happy, difficult etc.).
We use ‘to + infinitive’ to show purpose, ‘to & for’ for a full description on ‘to for
purpose’.
INFINITIVE RULES
There are four simple rules that we can use to know when a verb is in its non-personal
form, that is, in the infinitive.
1) In general, the infinitive is used after adjectives. For example, I'm excited to go
surfing each morning.
2) We use the infinitive after direct and indirect objects that refer to people. I warned
Bree to avoid the jellyfish in the water.
3) Some English verbs like 'hope', 'learn' and 'want' are always followed by an infinitive.
I want to learn ten new Canadian slang expressions each day!
4) We use the infinitive without the 'to' after many modal verbs like may, might, should
and could. You should visit our website acingles.com and comment on this video class!.
