INFINITIVE

a.[L. infinitivus.] In grammar, the infinitive mode expresses the action of the verb, without limitation of person or number; as, to love.

 

Webster's 1913 Dictionary

INFINITIVE

In *fin "i *tive, n. Etym: [L. infinitivus: cf. F. infinitif. See Infinite. ]

 

Defn: Unlimited; not bounded or restricted; undefined. Infinitive mood (Gram. ), that form of the verb which merely names the action, and performs the office of a verbal noun. Some grammarians make two forms in English: (a ) The simple form, as, speak, go, hear, before which to is commonly placed, as, to speak; to go; to hear. (b ) The form of the imperfect participle, called the infinitive in -ing; as, going is as easy as standing.

 

Note: With the auxiliary verbs may, can, must, might, could, would, and should, the simple infinitive is expressed without to; as, you may speak; they must hear, etc. The infinitive usually omits to with the verbs let, dare, do, bid, make, see, hear, need, etc. ; as, let me go; you dare not tell; make him work; hear him talk, etc.

 

Note: In Anglo-Saxon, the simple infinitive was not preceded by to (the sign of modern simple infinitive ), but it had a dative form (sometimes called the gerundial infinitive ) which was preceded by to, and was chiefly employed in expressing purpose. See Gerund, 2.

 

Note: The gerundial ending (-anne ) not only took the same form as the simple infinitive (-an ), but it was confounded with the present participle in -ende, or -inde (later -inge ).
