Practice Infinitives (Grade 8 Verbals)

What to know

An infinitive is a type of verbal that starts with the word "to" followed by a verb, like "to run" or "to read". Even though they look like verbs, infinitives actually act as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I want to study," the phrase "to study" acts as a noun because it is the direct object of the verb "want".
