Table 1 shows that the order 'infinitive-finite verb' appears almost exclusively with the bareinfinitive. A bareinfinitive in this case can be interpreted as an elliptic construction with an implicit modal verb. In only one case do we find a toinfinitive straightforwardly replacing a bareinfinitive. Even for this group, then, the model is the analogy with that-clauses, not with the bareinfinitive. This process ultimately influenced the position of the bareinfinitive, although the greatest losses were sustained by the subjunctive complement clause. From there it was a small step for the to-infinitive to supplant the bareinfinitive in other functions, notably as subject and as verb complement. When the bareinfinitive is used, the activity described in the infinitival phrase is never interrupted, almost as if there is an entailment relation. The perfective reading associated with the bareinfinitive derives from the interpretation of the perception verb as stative. We could then treat the bareinfinitive as unspecified (or underspecified) regarding perfectivity, although this is not explicitly stated as such in the text. The base form is also called the bareinfinitive; another common way of referring to verbs is to use the "to" -infinitive, e.g. to exist.

The form without "to" is called the "bareinfinitive"; the form introduced by "to" is called the "full infinitive" or "to-infinitive".

The form without "to" is called the bareinfinitive, and the form with "to" is called the full infinitive or "to" -infinitive.

In their uses as modals they govern a bareinfinitive, and are usually restricted to questions and negative sentences.

The principal grammatical difference is that "ought" is used with the "to" -infinitive rather than the bareinfinitive, hence "we should go" is equivalent to "we ought to go".

Syntactically, however, to-infinitives side with that-c\\a.uses, not with bare infinitives; this is suggested by a word order phenomenon. There are more such examples with onginnan, but only with bare infinitives, not with /o-infinitives. In fact, there is often no explicit modal reference; rather, verb ellipses, bare infinitives, or other instances of nonexplicit reference are found. Table 5 gives the figures for 'compatible' r/iaf-clauses, to- and bare infinitives for this group. When this verb is used in the active voice it takes the bareinfinitive (without the particle "to"), but in the passive voice it takes the "to" -infinitive.

The bareinfinitive also functioned as infinitive of purpose, and it was in this area that the to-infinitive first started to encroach on the territory of the bareinfinitive. Fischer (1995) suggests that the bareinfinitive was ultimately replaced by the -ing form. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
