Question 1 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

Which sentences contain an infinitive? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Sanjay is moving to a new neighborhood.
B
I’m working to save up for some new music.
C
Please return the books to Sarah.
D
Denise likes to get her exercise by dancing.
E
Dave has to walk the dog every morning.

Explanation

An infinitive is usually formed with “to” followed by a verb. In B, “to save” is an infinitive; in D, “to get” is an infinitive; and in E, “to walk” is an infinitive. In C, “to Sarah” shows direction and is a prepositional phrase, not an infinitive.
