Here's a breakdown:
* Verbal: A word formed from a verb but functioning as a noun, adjective, or adverb.
* Infinitive: The basic form of a verb, usually preceded by "to" (e.g., "to run," "to eat," "to sleep").
Examples of Infinitives:
* To run: a marathon
* To eat: a healthy breakfast
* To sleep: soundly
Infinitives can function as:
* Nouns: I love to read.
* Adjectives: The best place to go is the beach.
* Adverbs: I went to the store to buy milk.
