Infinitives 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, like this: to + verb = infinitive Important Note: Because an infinitive is not a verb, you cannot add s, ed, or ing to the end. Ever!
