What is an infinitive?

An infinitive is a type of verb form that is typically preceded by the word "to" and is used to express an action or state of being without specifying the subject or tense. It is the base form of a verb and can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I want to eat," the infinitive "to eat" functions as the direct object of the verb "want."
