An infinitive is the word "to" plus a verb so if you see that in a sentence its probably an.infinitive (I'll give an example below)

Ex: Renee suprised her sister to scare her.
-The infinitive would be "to scare" because it could be mistaken as a verb but the actual verb is "surprised"

Hope that helped!
