well, then you got constructions like "can run", "can sit"; where the second verb is clearly not finite in extent. some folks declare these "modal" verbs, to go next to helping verbs, imagining they're part of English's tense system. but you still got a class of verbs that take "to" infinitives and a class that takes base infinitves.

Latin grammatical structures aren't a great guide to English grammar, is what I'm getting at

@dancingtreefrog
also I'm not convinced that the "to" is actually part of a Latin-style infinitive; it seems to behave more like an English preposition; as tho every verb that can sensibly take another verb as an object actually has a related phrasal verb: like to, want to, able to.

(cuz all learners of English agree, what the language needs is more phrasal verbs!)

Here are a couple of new characters I’ve been meaning to draw for quite some time. Consider this an introduction, or at the very least, a trial run.

As much as I’ll probably never be entirely finished with Cochlea & Eustachia (I’ve been drawing them for literally a quarter of a century), it feels good to wander off and spend some time with a different cast once in a while.

More to come!

the dogs are impatient to go out, hoping to murder a small animal. it turns out they're correct; there's a rabbit hiding under the holly bushes. they did not catch it

la hundoj estas senpaciencaj por eliri; ili esperas, ke si murdu besteton. ŝajnas, ke ili ĝustas; kuniklo kaŝiĝas sub la ileksarbustoj. ili ne kaptis ĝin.
