The infinitive has the following forms:

  Active Passive
Present (to) give (to) be given
Continuous (to) be giving -
Perfect (to) have given (to) have been given
Perfect Continuous (to) have been giving -

Active forms are used:

· Present infinitive: the action expressed by the infinitive is simultaneous to the action expressed by the verb-predicate, or refers to the future. E.g. I am glad to see you. I was glad to see you. I will be glad to see you. I want to take a postgraduate course next year.

· Continuous infinitive: the action expressed by the infinitive is in the progress. E.g. He is believed to be hiding somewhere in the mountains.

· Perfect infinitive: expresses the action prior to the action of the verb-predicate. E.g. She claims to have met Richard Gere. (First she met Richard Gere, then she claimed that she had met him.)

· Perfect Continuous: emphasizes the duration of the action of the infinitive, which lasted before the action of the verb-predicate. E.g. She claims to have been working hard lately. (We emphasize what she has been doing lately.)

Passive forms are used:

· Present infinitive: (to) be + past participle E.g. He hopes to be given a pay rise soon.

· Perfect infinitive: (to) have been + past participle E.g. He is said to have been injured in a car accident.

The verbs tenses corresponding to the tenses of the infinitive are as follows:
