At the B1 level, the infinitive (to + base form of the verb) is used in several ways. It's commonly used to express purpose, after certain verbs, and after adjectives. It also appears after verbs like "want", "learn", and "offer", and in expressions like "used to" for past habits.
Here's a breakdown of common uses:
1. Purpose:
Infinitives are used to explain why someone does something.
Example: "I went to the store to buy some milk."
2. After certain verbs:
Many verbs are followed by the infinitive.
Examples: "agree to", "decide to", "hope to", "want to", "learn to", "offer to"
"I want to go to the park."
"She hopes to travel the world."
3. After adjectives:
We often use the infinitive after adjectives to describe something.
Examples: "It's difficult to understand.", "It's important to be on time."
4. "Used to" for past habits:
The structure "used to + infinitive" describes past habits or states that are no longer true.
Example: "I used to play the piano." (But I don't anymore.)
5. Other uses:
Infinitives can also be the subject of a sentence (less common at this level).
Example: "To travel is my dream."
They can also be used after modal verbs (though the bare infinitive is used in that case, without "to").
Example: "I can go to the party."
6- infinitives often appear after other verbs:
Examples:
1- The rain began to fall
2-Sally and I agreed to meet this afternoon
3- I hope to visit you soon
4-I like to ride my bike in the street
5- Paul is learning to swim.
