Infinitive adalah bentuk dengan awalan to + V1.
Bagaimana penggunaannya?

I am supposed to go to the meeting. My boss told me that he wants me to attend.

Seharusnya “My hobby is playing basketball”

CATATAN: Beberapa verb yang dipakai di atas mempunyai arti yang berbeda dari biasanya!
Haruskah kita hafal verb di atas? TIDAK PERLU!
Yang perlu kita tahu, infinitive dalam hal ini dipakai untuk menyambungkan dua verb yang dipakai sekaligus dalam satu predikat. Infinitive digunakan jikalau dalam arti penggunaannya, verb pertama dikerjakan sebelum verb kedua.
Contoh:

I’m letting you know the truth.
