Verbs
Verbs show the action in the sentence
Claire plays soccer.
Sam is creative.
Verbs change their form to agree with the subject.
Sam is creative.
We are creative.
I am creative.
An infinitive is a verb that doesn’t agree with a subject.
It is the action itself. No one is doing the action yet.
Examples: to be, to play
