<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.

Can i use a dash in a sentence like "going to a room - cant remember where this took place"
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Dashes are used to replace a parentheses or a colon. They can also be used to censor words and are often used to tell a range between numbers like 19-21.

In this case, you’re trying to use a dash to denote a connection which a dash can be used for but only when you’re connecting two words that are already have hyphens or are being used as a modifier.
