- What is an infinitive clause? What is an infinitive phrase? You might be interested to learn that this sentence includes an infinitive clause (“to learn that...”). It’s a clause that includes an infinitive followed by a noun clause used together as a complement to what preceded it. Well, that sounds complicated, but if you watch the lesson with me, we’ll go through it step-by-step. You’ll learn the construction, usage, and have plenty of examples and practice. Let’s start.

Hey Adam, I was wondering if you could make a video or explain to me if you should always place a comma before "then" or when you should put a comma before it? I'm also wondering if you should place a comma before "and then"
Thanks so much l
regards from Barranquilla Colombia
Super classes 🙏
Outstanding
Hi Adam I miss you so much I'm very excited to see you again happy new year hope you enjoy this year 🇲🇦😻
Sir this is really an informative and doubt clearing lecture. Besides, I have been watching your all clause related lectures to clarify my doubts which often neglected by our class teachers. Sir please make more elaborated lectures on "embedded clauses" as in literature reading we often come across with such a single sentence containing 10 -12 lines , mixing 5-8 clauses in a single sentence. Sir you are great. Your work towards improving knowledge in English literature would be remembered the entire world till this materialistic world survive against the aggression of some countries...
Thanks for the great explanation, can you please tell how to use "this that these those their them they it" to refer to the part of previous sentense in an article with 2, 3 different paragraph. (Newspaper article)
.Hi, incredible Teacher!
Спасибо)
Why should we care about studying grammar when we have the legend like you! You are really fantastic teacher sir.
Hi! Can you explain the main difference between possibility, opportunity and chance. Are there any rules?
Hugs from Brazil 💚💚💚
Sir plz discuss in newspaper writing skills as well as grammatical.
Hi nice to meet you, I am from Ethiopian Oromia. I am student Of wollega university freshman student.. I just learnt from your video thanks so much God bless you. But I can't speak english more.
Great
Congratulations.
When parsing these phrases/ clauses, would they be seen as a separate clause, despite them not being marked with a conjunction? I think whenever I can put some sort of adverbial before the "to" I should see it as a full-on clause.
Like, "I did this in order to x", would the infinitive clause be a separate, though dependent, clause? Thanks
4:42 Mr Adam, if from "the manager" to "the vacation" is our independent clause, and from "to test" to "take it" is our infinitive clause, then what is "not because he was generous?"
Make video on gerund vs present participle pls pls sir
Hello. Could you understand to me a meaning of this sentence - "to feel that you are special is crucial to develop a sense of security"?
And you are the 🌟
...Hi,i have been following your videos for quite sometimes, and they have helped improve my english too!..the way you explain sth, makes it crystal clear!..that's why i wanted to ask some of my doubts related to english, because i tried to look them up on CZcams too,but i wasn't satisfied!...i'm having doubts with the followings: what does it means when someone says (1) ..there were as many as 500 people in the meeting! (2)..people are expected to live a normal life even as omicron spreads and mutates further!...(3)..weather is getting increasingly hot!..(4)..well, i will think about it!...what does the word "well", stand for in this sentence?...thanks!😊
Please! Make separate grammar playlist.
Please
How is this different to adverb clause of reason (dependent clause) that starts with to+verb? Are they technically the same?
By the way, thank you for the lesson. You're a great teacher.
Hei Adam
how can I studying English have you college internet
Adam, I have a Q about definite article "the"
I hear in public speach" thee united states " not " thuh" and the same for " thee united Arab Emirates" and as I learned before it should be " thuh united .. "
So what is the write pronounciation ??
❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏼
Can it be adjective?
Ex: I have three books to read
. We have homework to be done
. There are lots of things to do
Can you clarify whether or not (to read/to be done/ to do) are doing their function as an adjective?
In the last example of infinitive phrases, "that you're special" isn't a noun clause? It has a subject (you) and a verb (are). So it would be an example of an infinitive clause, not infinitive phrase. If I am mistaken could you please tell me why?
Hi, i have a question about grammar.
The girl had a contest to see who could jump higher.
This is relative clause ?

Hi 👋 Mr.
I hope 🙏 you are all right.
I have a question if you don't mind..
The best way to change things is to talk to the company's management.
In the previous example☝️which one is the infinitive clauses and which one is the infinitive phrase? And why
as I remember that Adjactives followed by infinitive to and we make reason and result in a sentence we can use to infinitive AM I RIGHT ?
I took the quiz and score 7 out of 9 I understood this topic well
😍
What is an example of a sentence with an infinitive clause? Can an infinitive clause begin with a subordinating conjunction? For example, in this sentence, "To visit Los Angeles so that you arrive on time requires a 5 hour drive," is the infinitive clause, "To visit...on time," due to the subordinating conjunction "so that" beginning the noun phrase up to but not including the verb, "requires"? Thanks.
Esto es un petardo 🧨. ¿Pero qué rollo macabeo es éste?. Un ladrillo 🧱
Me voy a tocarme un poco…🤔 y a beber unas 🍺 cervezas…
This is a firecracker 🧨. But what Maccabean roll is this? A brick 🧱
I'm going to touch myself a little ... 🤔 and drink some 🍺 beers ...

5:00 Isn't the sentence ambiguous?
1. Ask him (what?) so that he finds out what she wanted, or
2. Ask him (why?) so that you find out what she wanted.
In the first case the infinitive clause is the object of 'ask', the thing we want him to do. In the second case it's the reason why you should ask him. The first meaning is probably the intended one but I'm not sure if the second meaning is also possible.
It's as same as the noun clause ,m I right?what's different?
Hi Adam 🙂 You are Adam Adam
