Show transcript
Words ending in -ique in French are often cognates with words ending in -ical in English: historique - historical.
An infinitive can be used as the subject of a sentence to express an activity (like a noun): conduire, c'est difficile.
Infinitives are also frequently used after modal verbs or 'aimer' and 'aller': il doit conduire dans la neige.
The infinitive is translated in the -ing form in English when used as a noun and as 'to …' when after a modal verb.
Use the infinitive after 'pour' to say why someone is doing something and after 'sans' to say 'without doing something'.
