92 Forms of the Infinitive.
The Tenses of the Infinitive Mood of a Verb, e.g.
"send," are as follows:Active. Passive.
Indefinite (to) send (to) be sent
Incomplete (to) be sending (to) be being
sent
Complete (to) have sent (to) have been
sent
S Complete (to) have been (to) have been
Post-Continuous sending being sent
There is no Past Tense. The Future is expressed
by different phrases, such as " to be on the point of
sending," " to be about to be sending," " to be going
to send," &c.
The "to" is enclosed in brackets, because it is
sometimes omitted, e.g. "I saw him (to) fall," where
"fall" is Infinitive. See next Paragraph.
93 "To" Omitted.
We can say indifferently -
(1) " He dares not come."
(2) " He has not dared to come."
Why is " to " inserted in the second, and omitted
in the first, example?
1 Rarely or never used.
