BARE INFINITIVES…..?

Simply saying an infinite verb which does not follow the preposition “TO” because of some situation is called BARE INFINITIVE.

In which situation does not an infinitive verb follow “TO”?

In your sentence, LET, SEE, HEAR, MAKE and a very few verbs are in finite case, the infinite verb what you may put in the same sentence will not follow “TO”.

See some examples.

·       Let me ask one question to you

·       A good teacher surely will make a student speak in English.

·        But the student must hear him do the same.

·       He is closely seeing on the sky shoot the brightened star.

Do remember, stating BARE INFINITIVE to an infinitive verb is depending upon which verb is used in finite section. The finite verbs seen above are not allowing any infinite verb used in the same sentence to follow “TO”.
