These are the verbal features of the infinitive. The finite forms of the verb have only one syntactical function — that of the predicate or part of the predicate. The syntactical functions of the infinitive are quite different. They are close to those of the noun and may be considered to be the noun features of the infinitive. The Infinitive has a variety of syntactical functions, typical of different parts of speech: 1. A subject a) to do smth is/was/will be (means /meant) ... E.g. 1. To study well is our duty. 2.

To visit English speaking countries is her aim. b) It is necessary (important, nice, good, bad, easy, difficult, pleasant, unpleasant, dangerous, etc.) to do smth E.g. 1. It’s nice to have seen you. 2. It’s good to have been met at the station. c) It takes (took, will take) smb to do smth E.g. 1. It takes me twenty minutes to get to the University. 2.
