A. Background

We often hear the word wish in English sentences, wish is a form of verb or verb in
English. Wishes is a form of subjunctive, subjunctive is a verb that is used to express an
expectation or supposition for something that turns out to be very different from reality.
Wish is also used to show a conditional form or what is explained in an English
sentence, even though it is seen as a simple verb or verb form, Wish has rules for using it, so
in this paper we want to explain and give the example of expressing wishes.

DISCUSSION

A. What is Infinitive?

The infinitive is the basic form of the verb (verb). The format of the infinitive is to + Verb
base (V1). So if the verb usually changes form, in the infinitive the verb does not change at
all from the basic form.

Infinitive formula

The infinitive formula is only related to the form of the verb form which is preceded by to,
such as: to meet, to cook, to help, to solve, to marry, and so on. The to infinitive can be
used for various things, such as being a noun in the form of a subject in a sentence. In
addition, to infinitive can be used as an adverb of an object, as a description of an adjective,
an adverb of a verb, and can also be used to follow the wh-word.

The infinitive formula in a sentence will certainly be different, depending on the to
