Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation.

Could you explain the following sentence? i am struggling to understand the infinitive pharse...

---
It is no secret that Indian youth face mounting pressure to excel in academics and secure a notable position in a respectable field
---

I think the infinitive pharse modifies noun pressure. Am i correct?

Where can i learn more on infinitive pharses?

Thanks

anyone please clarify

"It is no secret that Indian youth face mounting pressure to excel in academics and secure a notable position in a respectable field"

Not quite: the infinitival clause is a complement of "pressure", not a modifier.

Complements complete the verb phrase; modifiers add optional non-essential information.
