What are infinitives?

The meaning of the infinitive is the basic form of a verb.

Simply put, the basic pattern of the infinitive is

To + Verb 1

Therefore, if in tenses we know that verbs can change based on the type of tenses, while in this infinitive the verb does not change at all, still using the basic verb form/verb1.

- Or direct object in the middle of a sentence.

- In lieu of an adjective
