Re: The infinitive particle 'to' in a verb phrase - help please!

It is simple aspect. There are three aspects-- simple, perfect, and continuous. However, it is NOT present tense, since it is infinitive (a form of nonfinite verb). Normally we do not assign voice, mood, aspect, tense(!), person, number, etc. to nonfinite verbs. 'You will find' is simple future.
