Explanation:

Infinitive: An infinitive is verbal that is formed by adding "to" before the first form of the verb and it functions as noun (subject/object), adjective, or adverb.

<em>to think</em> (sentence 1 , <em>to go</em> (sentence 2) are used as nouns (objects). <em>To fly</em> (sentence 16) is used as noun (subject). <em>to see</em> (sentence 3) is used as adverb, telling why I climbed the mountain. A good novel to read is "War and Peace"<em> to read </em>is used as adjective to modify a good novel (to read)

Verbal: Verbal is a word formed from a verb but functions as something else (not as verb) e.g to go, flying in <em>flying birds look pretty. </em>
