Infinitive

Infinitive (abbreviated ') is a grammatical term referring to certain verb forms existing in many languages, most often used as non-finite verbs. As with many linguistic concepts, there is not a single definition applicable to all languages. The word is derived from Late Latin [modus] infinitivus, a derivative of infinitus meaning "unlimited".

The meaning of the pluperfect is equivalent to that of English verb forms such as "(we) had arrived" or "(they) had written".
