Since we were playing our arch rivals, to lose the game would have been humiliating.

The phrase to lose is an infinitive.

Gerund : Since we were playing our arch rivals, losing the game would have been humiliating.

What are Gerunds, infinitives, and participles?

An "ing"-ended word that serves as a noun is known as a gerund. By affixing the "-ing" suffix, a verb is converted into a noun, with the word as a whole.

An infinitive, which can thereafter be employed as a verbal noun, adjective, or adverb, is created by adding the word "to" to the verb's basic form.

A participle is a verb with one of the following ends, depending on the root word: "-ing," "-ed," "-en," "-d," "-t," "-n," or "-ne."

Whenever a participle is combined with one or more nouns or pronouns, a participial phrase, or collection of words, is created.

<u>The phrase </u><u>to lose </u><u>is an</u><u> infinitive.</u>

<u>Gerund </u><u>: Since we were playing our arch rivals, </u><u>losing </u><u>the game would have been humiliating.</u>
