On reconnait l'infinitif d'un verbe gràce à sa terminaison :
- er
-ir
- oir
- re
Exemple : dans "nous parlons", parlons est la forme conjuguée au présent de l'indicatif du verbe "parler".
PARLER est le mode infinitif
Je veux (infinitif : VOULOIR)
Je viens (infinitif : VENIR)
Je prends (infinitif : PRENDRE)
Je peins (infinitif : PEINDRE)
We recognize the infinitive of a verb thanks to its termination:
- er
- ir
- oir
- re
Example: "we talk" talk is the conjugated form in the present tense of the verb "to speak".
TALK is the imperative mood
I want (infinitive WANT)
I just (infinitive: COMING SOON)
I take (infinitive THEM)
I paint (infinitive: PAINTING)
