The most basic form of a verb is called the infinitive. In English, you can spot infinitives
because they usually have the word “to” in front of them:
to swim to read to write
Infinitives in Spanish, however, don’t have a separate word like “to” in front of them.
Spanish infinitives are only one word, and always end in –ar, -er, or –ir.
