释义	infinitivein‧fin‧i‧tive /ɪnˈfɪnətɪv/ ●●○ noun [countable] technical Word Origin WORD ORIGINinfinitive Origin: 1400-1500 Late Latin infinitivus, from Latin infinitus; because the verb is not limited by person or number Examples EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS Bolinger does not mention it, but the opposite is also true: exclusively perceptual verbs refuse the to infinitive. Given this shift, the appearance of to before the infinitive is not surprising. In some of its uses, the to infinitive evokes an event as non-realized or yet to be realized. Independently of any other verb, the bare infinitive here expresses an event as a possibility, a rejected possibility. The distinction between these two ways of conceiving permission accounts for the use of either the bare or the to infinitive here. The view of to proposed here allows one, furthermore, to account for the two major uses of the to infinitive. word sets WORD SETS► Grammar abbr., abbreviate, verbabbreviation, nounabstract noun, nounaccusative, nounactive, adjectiveadj., adjective, nounadv., adverb, nounadverbial, adjectiveaffix, nounantecedent, nounapposition, nounarticle, nounaspect, nounattributive, adjectiveaux., auxiliary, nounauxiliary verb, nouncase, nouncausal, adjectiveclause, nouncollective noun, nouncommon noun, nouncomparative, adjectivecomparison, nouncomplement, nouncomplex, adjectivecompound, nounconcord, nounconcrete noun, nounconditional, adjectiveconditional, nounconj., conjugate, verbconjugation, nounconjunction, nounconnective, nounconstruction, nouncontinuous, adjectivecontraction, nouncoordinate, adjectivecoordinating conjunction, nouncopula, nouncountable, adjectivecount noun, noundative, noundeclension, noundefinite article, noundemonstrative, adjectivedemonstrative pronoun, noundependent clause, noundeterminer, noundirect discourse, noundirect object, noundirect speech, noundisjunctive, adjectiveditransitive, adjectivedouble negative, noun-ed, suffixending, noun-est, suffix-eth, suffixfeminine, adjectivefinite, adjectiveform, nounfunction word, nounfuture, adjectivegender, noungenitive, noungerund, noungradable, adjectivegrammar, noungrammarian, noungrammatical, adjectivehistoric present, nounhomonym, nounhomophone, nounimperative, adjectiveimperative, nounimpersonal, adjectiveindefinite article, nounindependent clause, nounindicative, nounindicative, adjectiveindirect discourse, nounindirect object, nounindirect speech, nouninfinitive, nouninflect, verbinflected, adjectiveinflection, noun-ing, suffixintensifier, nouninterjection, nouninterrogative, adjectiveinterrogative, nounintransitive, adjectivelinking verb, nounmain clause, nounmasculine, adjectivemodal, nounmodal auxiliary, nounmodal verb, nounmodifier, nounmodify, verbmood, nounn., neuter, adjectivenominal, adjectivenominative, nounnon-finite, adjectivenon-restrictive, adjectivenoun, nounnumber, nounobject, nounparse, verbparticipial, adjectiveparticiple, nounparticle, nounpartitive, nounpart of speech, nounpassive, adjectivepassivize, verbpast, adjectivepast participle, nounpast perfect, nounperfect participle, nounperiphrasis, nounpersonal pronoun, nounphrasal verb, nounphrase, nounpl., plural, nounplural, adjectiveplurality, nounpossessive, adjectivepossessive, nounpredeterminer, nounpredicate, nounpredicative, adjectiveprefix, nounprefix, verbprep., preposition, nounprepositional phrase, nounpres., present participle, nounprogressive, adjectivepronominal, adjectivepronoun, nounproper noun, nounpunctuate, verbpunctuation, nounqualifier, nounquantifier, nounquestion tag, nounreflexive, adjectiveregular, adjectiverelative clause, nounrelative pronoun, nounreported speech, nounrestrictive clause, nounroot, nounrule, nounrun-on sentence, nounsecond person, nounsemicolon, nounsentence, nounsentence adverb, nounsingular, adjectivesolecism, nounsplit infinitive, nounstative, adjectivestem, nounsubject, nounsubjective, adjectivesubjunctive, nounsubordinate clause, nounsubstantive, nounsuffix, nounsuperlative, adjectivesyntactic, adjectivesyntax, nountag, nountense, nountransitive, adjectiveuncountable, adjectivev., variant, nounverb, nounverbal, adjectivevocative, noun Collocations COLLOCATIONS FROM THE CORPUSADJECTIVE► split · Star Trek is the series made split infinitives famous.

Phrases PHRASES FROM OTHER ENTRIES► bare infinitive And yet the bare infinitive has been chosen by the speaker. As for the grammatical meaning of the bare infinitive, the following remarks can be made. The bare infinitive would blunt the sharp edge of this expressive effect. The extremely rare use of the bare infinitive with the passive of perceptual verbs adds further proof that this is the case. There are fewer contexts where only the bare infinitive seems appropriate. There is an obvious parallel, therefore, between the bare infinitive's use in exclamations and that after need and dare. These sentences support Erades's and Wood's intuitions about the meaning of the bare infinitive construction. This explains why the bare infinitive would not be possible in this context. in grammar, the basic form of a verb, used with ‘to’ in English. In the sentence ‘I want to watch television’, ‘to watch’ is an infinitive. → split infinitive
