G11, M12, E13 The infinitive – presentation and practice

The Infinitive

U engleskom jeziku se infinitiv upotrebljava mnogo češće nego u srpskom,.

U rečenici se infinitiv upotrebljava, između ostalog:

Kao subjekat ili kao deo subjekta rečenice.

To make mistakes is human. 

Kao objekat:

Tom likes to sit up late. 

Kao predikativ:

His wish was to speak English fluently.

1. Postoje neki glagoli posle kojih ide SAMO INFINITIV: agree, afford, fail, happen, hesitate, manage, plan, prepare, pretend, promise, refuse.

I plan to travel to France. 

2. Posle nekih glagola ide objekat pa onda infinitiv: advise, allow, invite, mean, teach, tell.

She invited him to come to the party.

3. Infinitiv se koristi posle sledećih prideva: disappointed, glad, happy, pleased etc.

I am glad to see you.

Infinitiv bez "TO" (krnji infinitiv)

1. Infinitiv bez TO se koristi posle pomoćnih/modalnih glagola: can/could, must, may, need, should, will, would.

You should study hard.

2. posle sledećih izraza: had better, would rather/sooner

You had better stay at home during the emergency situation.

3. Nakon glagola: let, make, feel, hear, see.

Neki glagoli kao što su stop, remember, forget, try etc. imaju potpuno različito značenje kada iza njih stoji gerund a različito kada stoji infinitiv.

She stopped to talk. (Zaustavila se da bi popričala)
