hanuman_2000  +  52288 Wed, 27 Oct 04 08:04 AM Sir this is a paragraph from a internet ----- To sneeze, to smash, to cry, to shriek, to jump, to dunk, to read, to eat, to slurp-- all of these are infinitives. An infinitive will almost always begin with to followed by the simple form of the verb. Important Note: Because an infinitive is not a verb, you cannot add -s, -es, -ed, or -ing to the end. Ever! Sir , "Because an infinitive is not a verb" , do you agree that infinitive is not a verb. Thanks. hanuman_2000 Joined on Thu, Aug 12 2004 INDIA Contributing Member 1,644 Verbs, Paragraphs

	Mister Micawber  +  52306 Wed, 27 Oct 04 09:59 AM I consider it a verb form, but it is not a finite verb. This excerpt is confusing non-finite and base form.
