Answer:

Infinitive phrase.

Explanation:

In English grammar, an infinitive phrase is a verbal construction made up of the particle <u>to</u> and the base form of a verb, <u>with or without modifiers</u>, <u>complements, and objects</u>. Also called an infinitival phrase and a to-infinitive phrase.

An infinitive phrase can function as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb, and it can appear in <u>various places</u> in a sentence.

<u>Examples of Infinitive phrases:</u>

(<em>unknown</em>)

“<em>To laugh is to live profoundly.</em>”

(Milan Kundera, <em>The Book of Laughter and Forgetting</em>, 1979)

"The specific images presented on film are often hard to remember in the same way that dreams are hard to remember."

(J. F. Pagel, <em>The Limits of Dream</em>. Academic Press, 2008)

"[N]ot everyone has the same ability to remember dreams."

(Peretz Lavie, <em>The Enchanted World of Sleep</em>. Yale University Press, 1996)
