to + V1. Bagaimana penggunaannya?

The game is supposed to begin at 10.00 PM. The committee is supposed to meet tomorrow. I am supposed to go to the meeting. My boss told me that he wants me to attend. 3. Digunakan dalam kata depan kalimat jawaban dalam dialog yang menyingkat pola aslinya
"What are we going to do tomorrow?â â
To play basketball.â Seharusnya
âWeâre going to play basketballâ Coba bedakan dengan
"What is your hobby?â âPlaying basketballâ Seharusnya

He comes here to see me. We watched the match lively to support the team. I borrow money to pay the rent. 5. Digunakan setelah kata urutan (first, second, dst)

CATATAN: Beberapa
verb yang digunakan di atas memiliki arti yang berbeda dari biasanya!
Haruskah kita hafal verb di atas? TIDAK PERLU! Yang perlu kita tahu,
infinitive dalam hal ini digunakan untuk menyambungkan dua
verb yang digunakan sekaligus dalam satu predikat.
Infinitive digunakan bila dalam arti penggunaannya,
verb pertama dikerjakan sebelum
verb kedua. Contoh:
I promise to meet you. Saya berjanji (dahulu, baru) bertemu kamu.
11. Dapat digunakan dalam kalimat
I didnât expect to be invited to his party. The rain seems to have stopped. Jane is fortunate to have been given a scholarship. 12. Bare infinitive
Dalam bentuk causative, penggunaan HAVE, MAKE, HELP, dan LET dalam berbagai tense yang diikuti oleh objective pronoun diikuti oleh
V1 saja.
He made me cry. They will have someone prepare the food. We are helping her finish the assignment. Iâm letting you know the truth. Bagaimana, sudah cukup mengerti?
