Question

Which words in this sentence are the infinitive? Would you like to cook? A. like to B. to cook C. you like D. would you

Answer 1

B. to cook

An infinitive almost always begins with “to” and is followed by the basic form of the verb. It is usually in this form:

To + Verb = Infinitive

An infinitive is NOT a verb, so s, es, ed, or ing should not be added to the end. Infinitives can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. According to the pattern of what an infinitive should be, “to cook” is the infinitive of this sentence and it functions as a noun.
