PURPOSE

AFTER VERBS

QUESTIONS

We use the infinitive to show purpose or reason for doing a certain action or feeling a certain emotion. It answers the question "why?"

We must use the infinitive after certain verbs, especially verbs of thinking or feeling. Some of these verbs are: decide, hate, forget, hope, like, want, remember.

Sometimes, we use the infinitive after question words - how, who, what, where, and when.
