This Grade 6 English grammar worksheet provides a structured approach to understanding and using infinitives (To + Verb). Through a variety of engaging exercises, students will learn how to identify these non-finite verb forms and use them effectively in different sentence structures. This resource focuses on building fluency by moving from simple identification to complex sentence rewriting where the infinitive serves as the subject.
Infinitives are essential tools for expanding a student's expressive range. For Grade 6 learners, this topic is important because:
1. They allow students to express purpose, intent, and necessity clearly.
2. They function as versatile building blocks that can act as subjects or follow main verbs.
3. They help transition from simple sentences to more sophisticated academic writing.
4. Mastering them is a key step in understanding non-finite verbs, alongside gerunds and participles.
This worksheet includes five grammar-rich activities that build fluency with infinitives:
Exercise 1 – Choose the Correct Form
Students select the grammatically accurate sentence or form using the "to + verb" structure. Example: “She loves to swim in the pool.”
Exercise 2 – True and False
Learners evaluate sentences to determine if the infinitive has been applied correctly or incorrectly. Example: “I enjoy to read books before bed.” (False)
Exercise 3 – Fill in the Blanks
Students apply the correct infinitive form of a given verb to complete a sentence logically. Example: “I want to learn to speak Spanish.”
Exercise 4 – Rewrite with Infinitives as Subjects
This advanced task requires students to transform sentences starting with gerunds into sentences using infinitives as the subject. Example: “Exercising regularly...” → “To exercise regularly is essential...”
