Most of transitive verbs which take a direct objects theoretically can be followed by an infinitive (noun), without using a conjunction or preposition. An infinitive can be used as a noun - as the subject, the direct object of a verb and/or an object of a preposition. The beauty is that the infinitive offers a wide range of uses of a word, without sacrificing its meaning or characteristics as a verb.

“TENER, HACER, & PONER” are the most frequently used and irregular Spanish verbs. This book provides many examples of Spanish simple present, simple past, future, perfect, pluperfect, conditional tenses, command, subjunctive mood, and passive voice, a helpful resource, like a mini Spanish Grammar Book for writing Spanish sentences and learning verb conjugation.

VERB + SOBRE, SEGUN, CONTRA, ANTES DE, SIN, MISCELLANEOUS, ENTRE,DESDE…HASTA, DE…A o HASTA, HACIA, HASTA, DURANTE, DESDE, BAJO, DEBAJO, DESPUES DE, TRAS, ACERCA DEEight formulas are created for stitching technique by using prepositions to “stitch” words together and to make it grammatically correct in Spanish. Infinitives are extensively used in the formulas as objects of preposition. It is not unusual to see different prepositions used with certain conjugated verbs. Looking for one absolute choice is not pragmatic under the circumstances. However we should still be careful in the selection of the correct choice so that we will not speak Chinese Spanish or English Spanish.

For Spanish NEGATIVE or FORMAL COMMAND, always conjugate the subjunctive. The imperative mood in the second person, singular - “tú” form which looks like the present tense of 3rd person, singular, is used to give informal command in Spanish. Irregular “tú” form verbs have unique spellings “ten, haz, sé, di, ven, pon, ve, sal”, which a foreigner has to memorize, without the benefit of reasoning. For “vosotros” form, dropping the “r“ from all infinitives, before adding the “d”, examples are “ quered, cortad, sufrid…”. Infinitive can be used for informal and/or impersonal command, especially in instructions. In English, command can be indicated by omitting the subject of the verb. Indirect command is used to give a command to someone other than the person being spoken to.
