GRAMMAR

When you want to use two single form verbs in a sentence, you separate with “to”. They are called infinite verbs.

Examples: 

a. I want to celebrate my birthday.
b. She hopes to attend to my birthday.
c. He intends to buy a laptop for my birthday.
d. I expect to receive many presents on my birthday.

Here a list of basic verbs followed by infinitives:

Admit	Intend	Plan
Admit	Learn how to	Pretend
Can’t afford	Like	Refuse
Can’t wait	Love	Remind
Decide	Mean	Seem
Expect	Need	Try
Expect	Offer	Want
Hope	Promise	Wish

Using adjective + to

Sometimes we use infinitive after adjectives.

Examples:

a. It’s great to see my friends on my birthday.
b. It’s social to talk to many friends on my birthday.
c. It’s sad to start my party without my parents.
d. It’s amazing to travel around the world on my birthday month.
