Can someone please give me basic sentences to translate and identify the infinitive? Im struggling with these.
Filiae in agrīs aestate ambulāre amant.
Puella librum legere parat.
Pueri sub arbore sedere amant.
Cornelia ē arboribus currere timet.
Sextus de arbore descendere non timet.

Well, I guess I wasted a lot of time writing these. I'll remember.
There are 4 endings in Latin for infinitives (not including irregular).
1st conjugation is -are
2nd conjugation is-ēre
3rd conjugation is -ere
4th conjugation is -ire
so for example, in number 1, for ambulare,the infinitive would be a first conjugation verbal because it ends in -are. All infinitives are translated as to+________ so ambulare means to walk
Of course! I can help you with that. Here are a few basic sentences for you to practice translating and identifying the infinitive:
1. The cat likes to sleep.
Translation: Le chat aime dormir.
Infinitive: dormir (to sleep)
2. We need to study for the test.
Translation: Nous devons étudier pour le test.
Infinitive: étudier (to study)
3. She wants to eat pizza for dinner.
Translation: Elle veut manger de la pizza pour le dîner.
Infinitive: manger (to eat)
4. They like to play soccer on weekends.
Translation: Ils aiment jouer au football le week-end.
Infinitive: jouer (to play)
5. I plan to visit my grandma tomorrow.
Translation: Je prévois de rendre visite à ma grand-mère demain.
Infinitive: rendre visite (to visit)
To identify the infinitive in these sentences, look for the verb that follows the word "to" or the equivalent in the target language. In French, for example, the infinitive is usually marked by the word "de" before the verb. In English, the infinitive is often preceded by the word "to."
