You are talking about the bare infinitive, but with to it is considered the full infinitive. You might be calling "infinitive" what I would call the verb stem. In English it usually looks like the bare infinitive. In other languages, e.g. French, there is a clear difference between stem and infinitive, because of the infinitival suffix. | |
