Re: The Infinitive Phrase

Paul is right. However, I would consider it acting as a noun.

Here is a lesson on the roles infinitives play in sentences.

Replace the infinitive phrase with cake. If it works, it's a noun.
Replace the infinitive phrase with big. If it works, it's an adjective.
Replace the infinitive phrase with quickly. If it works, it's an adverb.
