    Infinitives – Writing

    To do the activity well:

    • Read each question carefully.
    • Think about what you want to answer.
    • Use the question as a guide to write your answer.
    • Make sure to begin with the subject of the action - e.g., I, it, or My parents, ....
    • Pay attention to verb tenses - use the same verb tense as in the question.
    • Make sure to use an infinitive in your answer - pay attention to the words in bold to help you.
