1. En espaol el infinitivo de los verbos termina en ar, er o ir; tiene por lo tanto tres terminaciones.
Vers ms abajo que, en cuanto a terminacin, los verbos en ingls son imperfectos y terminan de
muchas maneras diferentes. Digamos que para "unificar" esta situacin el infinitivo de los verbos
en ingls se forma anteponindole la partcula TO al verbo.
2. Algunos ejemplos: CANTAR se dice TO SING; BEBER se dice TO DRINK; ABRIR se dice TO
OPEN.
3. Otra caracterstica del infinitivo es que puedes convertirlo en una INSTRUCCION u ORDEN si
eliminas el TO: Close your book !! (Cierra tu libro!). Puedes "suavizar" estas rdenes, agregando
please (por favor) al principio o al final: Please, close your book (Por favor, cierra tu libro); Close
your book, please (Cierra tu libro, por favor).
