Re: prepositions

Do we?
I thought it was 'use the infinitive'.
In all my life, I have never heard someone utter the word, "Put the verbs in the infinitive".
I googled and found 9 hits for it, most of those saying, ""Put the verbs in the infinitive form".

So….. what?
4 or 5 people agree with you?

Re: prepositions

It is definitely, "put the verb in the infinitive" rather than "put the verb at the infinitive."
