Step-by-step explanation:

A verbal is a verb form that acts as another part of speech—either as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb. Participles, gerunds, and infinitives are the three verbal types.

An infinitive is a verbal form that typically begins with the word to. An infinitive phrase includes the infinitive, plus any modifiers and complements. Infinitives and infinitive phrases can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. When they function as nouns, they can act either as subjects, direct objects, or predicate nominatives.
