Using this noun in a sentence

• Nouns name a person, place, thing or idea. Countable nouns take a determiner and have a plural: one book, two books.
• A common noun is lowercase unless it begins a sentence; a proper noun is always capitalised.
• English normally puts the determiner before the noun — a big idea, the same rule, my old bag — so build the frame around the word before you fill in the verb.

Where this word sits in the grammar

Infinitives (intermediate level)

Learn which verbs take the infinitive (want, decide, hope, agree, refuse) and which take the gerund (enjoy, avoid, finish, mind, suggest).

The rules in short

• 1. Full infinitive: to + base — to go, to see.
• 2. Bare infinitive (no to): after modals (can go), after make/let (made him cry), after do in negatives.
• 3. Uses: purpose (I came to help), after certain verbs (want to go, decide to leave), after adjectives (happy to see).
• 4. Split infinitive: "to boldly go" — acceptable in modern English but avoid in formal writing.
• 5. Some verbs take gerund, not infinitive: enjoy doing, avoid doing, mind doing.

Examples from that topic

• I came here to help you. — मैं तुम्हारी मदद करने यहाँ आया हूँ।
• She decided to leave early. — उसने जल्दी निकलने का फैसला किया।
