<u>Answer</u>:

<u>Infinitive</u> : “to read”

<u>Use</u>: Adjective

<u>Explanation</u>:

'Infinitive' is the basic form of a verb. Any verb that is prefixed by 'to' is an infinitive. For example: to love, to read, to run and so on.

In the given sentence, the infinitive is 'to read' and its used as 'adjective' here. Infinitive can be used as Noun, verb or adjective. To find out how an infinitive is used, break the sentence into 'simple subject' and 'simple predicate', locate the infinitive with 'to'.

If infinitive modifies the noun, it is used as adjective. In the given example, to read is modifying the noun 'book', i.e. a good book ''to read''. So, 'to read' is used as an "adjective" here.

The day I decided to fly, I told my mom about my plan to jump, I told her it wasn't fair for gravity to stop my desires. My mother forbade me, clearly, but it made me a stubborn child and I decided to jump anyway.

I climbed on the roof, spread my arms and jumped. Second later I hit the floor hard, luckily the keyboard was low and I didn't get hurt badly, but I suffered some cuts and bled a lot.
