What is the parts of speech of infinitive passive in sentence? There are many questions to be answered.

[@TheMindspringsEnglishTeacher]

Of course there are many topics to do. This is not exhaustive. But you will get all your questions answered. That is unique. Infinitives are non finite so they are not verbs. They functions as nouns and rarely as adjectives or adverbs. Ask relevant questions to noun or verb for this. Passive infinitives are formed by to be + past participle e.g. He was to be taken to prison. Active They were to take him to prison. now you put this question on other channels and see if they answer you.

Hello ma'am, I need some guidance. My mom (~45yo) is a housewife who wants to learn english. I want to help her but Im not sure what course of action I should take. I dont have much time on my own hands since I'm preparing for JEE myself, so it would be great if theres some sort of way for her to learn independantly. She can roughly understand simple english but is unable to understand vocabulary beyond that point. She can't construct sentences herself, often making a lot of mistakes. There is also the tragedy of me just not being able to tell her exactly what's wrong, since I myself actually don't really know much grammar. The way I learned english was just exposure to a lot of story and dialogue heavy video games so my brain just kind of intuitively knows that a wrong sentence is wrong, but I'm unable to pinpoint the grammatical error. I did try the exposure method for her too, suggesting movies and web shows for her to watch in english but she can't quite take anything useful from it, often just getting lost in the subtitles or being overwhelmed. I guess children just learn languages differently compared to adults. What should we do in this case ma'am? Thank you.

I have made a video in Hindi called 10 supertips to improve your english. Make her watch and do some of those regularly. she will learn. Don't start on movies. Use simple materials like cartoons, recipes, motivational videos, short videos. Persist. Do not give up. In the beginning it will be hard. Do not try to learn through grammar. Read aloud any material she enjoys. any. aloud. She will improve. Watch the video.
