Anonymous users2024-02-13The infinitive is a non-predicate verb.
In English grammar, the infinitive is a form of a verb that does not injure and thus does not indicate the person, quantity, or tense. It is called an infinitive because the verb is not limited, or rather not limited by the part of speech. The infinitive belongs to the non-predicate verb form.
In English language courses, the infinitive is often referred to as "dictionary word" because it is generally used as the prefix of the verb in the dictionary. The infinitive can be used as any sentence component of the sentence except the predicate in the sentence, but it is a verb after all, so it has the attribute of a verb.
Words with infinitives:
1. ado (noun) is derived from the abbreviation of at do, which is an infinitive mark influenced by Norwegian. The beginning of much ado also means much to do. to-do is more straightforward.
The second half of derring-do (noun) is also infinitive.
2. affair (noun) comes from the French à faire, à is equivalent to the preposition to, and faire (do) is also a verb infinitive.
3. Some infinitives ending in ere in Latin end with re -ir after entering Old French, and this infinitive ending is generally removed after entering English, but some are retained, such as render, bever, surrender, tender, supper, dinner, and may be from Latin infinitives.
4. Esophagus (esophagus) comes from the Greek word oisophagos, and the first half comes from the future tense infinitive oisein of pherein (to transport, to carry).
5. Jihad (noun) is derived from the Arabic infinitive.
One of the dialect usages of done may be related to infinitives. Vagary (noun) may come from the Latin infinitive vagari.
