Goal: Create examples of modifying infinitive phrases

Note: If these are not distinct structures from participle phrases, then create more words!

Tip: You may opt to restrict the head nouns that can be modified by these.

Work focus: Create/Make/List


Finally, if your conlang differentiates infinitive modifiers from other nonfinite verb-based modifiers, then create examples of infinitive modifiers, making sure to incorporate them in a variety of clausal positions. You may choose to restrict infinitive modifiers, only allowing them to work with a particular semantic group of nouns (e.g. nouns indicating locations or directions).

If your language doesn’t have distinct infinitive forms in modifier roles, then use today to create more vocabulary!
