I searched in the top right corner for "user:15299 help infinitive" and 5 came up. Here's three of them: http://english.stackexchange.com/a/75190/15299 and http://english.stackexchange.com/a/50035/15299 and http://english.stackexchange.com/a/75946/15299. I'm "user:15299", btw. – John Lawler Mar 07 '15 at 16:13
