Do you not understand the term "bare infinitive" that's in your directions? You should be posting only ONE WORD per sentence, not a whole phrase.
Normally an infinitive is made up of two words: "to" and a verb --
to see
to walk
to think
to write
But in these sentences, the "to" is missing. Read the directions AND EXAMPLES in this section: Recognize an infinitive even when it is missing the to.
1.feel
2.nod
3.look
4.explain
5.offer
Right
