Excerpt from Vergil's Use of the Infinitive: Thesis for Degree of Master of Arts in Latin, Graduate School University of Illinois, 1902
The infinitive is an abstract verbal noun. It gives us the verb in its most unlimited force. It has some marks that make it a noun, others that make it a verb. As a verb it has voice, tense takes the construction of the finite verb, and the adverb modifier. As a noun it has case and takes the adjective modifier. In gender it is always neuter. As a verb it is usually subordinate, being governed by some other important word to which it adds a further thought while it itself serves as a nucleus around which a depend ent clause is built.
