The Infinitive


When in English you have a sentence with “to”+<verb> (e.g. I want to go to the store), that translates to Spanish as the infinitive. You don’t conjugate it! Remember to conjugate any helping verb that precedes it.
Me voy a dormir -  I go to sleep.
Quiero ver el programa – I want to see the program
Pienso estudiar leyes – I think about studying law (l think to study laws)
Voy a caminar esta tarde – I go to walk this afternoon.
Quiero entender español mejor – I want to understand Spanish better.
