An infinitive is a verb form that is preceded by "to". It is made up of "to" and the base form of a verb. For example, "to run" or "to eat".
An infinitive can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb. It can be used when discussing actions without actually doing the action.

For example, "I want to go home" or "To err is human".
