In an infinitive phrase, it is always a preposition, and something you can do. For example: I like to think about my family. In this sentence to think is an infinitive phrase, and about my family is a prepositional phrase. to think, to be, to run, to do, to rescue, are all some of the MANY infinitives.

if a phrase begins with "to" then it is an infinitive. an infinitive is a verbal. they may be used as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. an infinitive is formed by adding "to". an infinitive phrase consists of an infinitive, its modifiers, and its complements. let me give you an example or two... 'My son is doing exercises to strengthen his ankle.' the infinitive phrase is" TO strengthen his ankle. it's an adjective modifying exercises because if you take out the infinitive phrase, the sentence still makes sense. it is giving you additional information about the exercise...ill give u one more example. "to begin the journey is often the hardest step." the phrase is to begin the journey. its a noun- subject. remember- nouns don't modify anything...not even "step" i really hoped i helped---im only 14 years old....but u can trust me. I'm pretty good at this. wait until you learn gerunds! good luck :)
