Hi, everyone. Welcome back to English In A Minute. I’m James and today we’re going to talk about three different uses of the infinitive with ‘to’.

Another way to use the infinitive with ‘to’ is to talk about the purpose, or the reason, for something.
For example: I went to the shops to buy some milk.
So, in this example I’m saying that the reason I went to the shop was to buy milk.
Finally, use the infinitive with ‘to’ after quantifiers. The structure for this is: quantifier + noun + infinitive with ‘to’.
For example: I have too many emails to send.
Or: There isn’t enough time to get to the station.
