The infinitive is a form of the verb.
===Forms- Tense===
Using [[λυω]], the different forms of the infinitive are
* Aorist Middle - λυσασθαι
* Aorist Passive - λυθηναι
The Present indicatives an unfolding action whereas the Aorist indicatives a summary action. In practice, they are translated into English the same.
===Uses of the Infinitive===
* ''Time before:'' Formed with ''προ του + infinitive'' and is translated as: ''before''
* ''Time after:'' Formed with ''μετα το + infinitive'' and is translated as: ''after''
===Accusative of Reference===
The subject on an infinitive verb is placed directly after the verb, in the accusative case (not the nominative). It is known as the ''accusative of respect'' or the ''accusative of reference''.
