What are infinitives? When teaching infinitives it is especially important to know what they are. Infinitives are the base form of verbs. Infinitives are often formed by placing the word “to” and then following it with a verb. For example, “to buy/to work/to shop”. Keep in mind that a bare infinitive does not have the word “to” preceding it. Sometimes English speakers use infinitives as objects in sentences. Infinitives can also be used as a subject at the beginning of some sentences; they can be used as adverbs to modify verbs as well. Finally, they can be used as adjectives and/or complements to adjectives. As the lesson progresses, you will introduce the different uses of infinitives to students. Though teaching infinitives seems difficult, this lesson makes it fun and clear.If you want additional lesson plans and support, including teachers’ notes, be sure to register for a free Off2Class account.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"The strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease may impair the body’s cellular recycling system, allowing the build-up of harmful byproducts in the brain. People carrying the gene variant known as APOE4 are at an increased risk for the early development of Alzheimer’s and show high numbers of the brain plaques characteristic of the disease. But the underlying reason for this effect isn’t clear. Now, researchers have shown that APOE4 interferes with autophagy -- the body’s way of recycling unneeded or harmful cellular material – providing new insights into how and why APOE4 conveys such a strong risk for Alzheimer’s. The team looked at the relationship between APOE4 and a protein known as TFEB, considered a master regulator of autophagy-related genes. Prior studies have linked reduced TFEB expression to the presence of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain..."
