Sometimes verbs are followed by an object and then by another verb in the to + infinitive form.
The to + infinitive is sometimes called the full infinitive. Examples are: to go, to be, to have, to speak.
| Verb + object + to + infinitive | ||
|
After some verbs we use the object, followed by to + infinitive.
Verbs which can be followed by this form include: advise, ask, allow, expect, encourage, force, help, invite, order, persuade, teach, tell. |
