Lesson outcome
I can use infinitives as nouns to express activities to help the environment.
Show transcript
[é], [er], and [ez] all sound like 'écrire'.
An infinitive can be used as the subject of a sentence to express an activity.
The infinitive functions like a noun in such sentences: ‘être poli, c’est important’ - 'being polite is important'.
We normally translate French infinitives used as nouns with the -ing form of the verb in English.
