An '''infinitive''' is a form of a [[verb]] that does not completely specify [[person (grammar)|person]], [[number (grammar)|number]], [[tense]], [[mood (grammar)|mood]], [[aspect (grammar)|aspect]], and [[voice]]. That is, an infinitive cannot function as a [[finite verb]], that is, as the main verb in a [[sentence]]. Instead, the infinitive can function as a verbal [[noun]] or can be combined with one or more [[auxiliary verb]]s to form a compound finite verb.
