An infinitive is a verb form that can can be used as a noun, adjective, or adverb. The word to usually appears before the infinitive.

Example: It is important to listen.

The infinitive is listen. The word to come before it.

An infinitive phrase is an infinitive with modifiers or a complement.

Example: It is important to listen carefully.

Hope this helped :)
