In order for them to further understand the infinitives, I’ll show

another examples using “to play” to emphasize the different usage of
Infinitives.

Infinitive phrases can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.

Look at these examples:

1 . To play her newly bought game without affecting her studies is
May's only goal as of now.
To play her newly bought game functions as a noun because it is the
subject of the sentence.
2. Lakesha hopes to play the newly bought game of her sister by
doing the dishes for her.
To play the newly bought game functions as a noun because it is the
direct object for the verb hopes.
3. The best way to survive Dr. Peterson's boring history lectures is
to play with your pen.
To survive Dr. Peterson's boring history lectures functions as an
adjective because it modifies way.
I have another example here.
“Lawsuits are useful to punish corporations or to represent
consumers.”
To punish functions as an adjective. The infinitive is to punish and
it was as an adjective because it modifies the adjective useful.
Identify the infinitives and its function.
“To jog a mile every day is my goal.”
To jog functions as a noun. To jog is the infinitive and it serve as a
noun because it is the subject of the sentence.
“We should not allow him to stay.”
To stay functions as an adjective. The infinitive to stay functions
as an adjective modifying the pronoun him.
