Introduction
To-infinitiv [to-infinitive] koristimo kad govorimo o nečijoj namjeri (razlog ili cilj radnje).
Form
Struktura to-infinitiva (to work) je gotovo jednaka kao ona nultog infinitiva ili infinitiva [zero infinitive] (to work).
Za negativni oblik dododajemo not prije infinitiva (not to work).
Example
- I went outside to help my mom, not to help you.
- He called me to invite us to the beach, not to invite us to the picnic.
- We travelled to see my classmates, not to get married.
Use
To-infinitiv koristimo nakon nekih glagola koji izriču svrhu, ali nikad nakon modalnih glagola. Štoviše, infinitiv (u oba oblika) se ne koristi nakon prijedloga.
Summary
To-infinitiv [to-infinitive] koristimo za izražavanje svrhe nečije radnje. U negativnom obliku dodajemo not prije to-infinitiva.
Naprimjer:
— “I have to find an excuse to go to the cinema with them.” = Subjekt izražava namjeru odlaska u kino.
— “I have to find an excuse not to go to the cinema with them.” = Subjekt ne izražava namjeru odlaska u kino.
NAPOMENA: Ne koristi se nakon modalnih glagola i nakon prijedloga (s ili bez to-).
