Question

``Certiorari ("to be ascertained") is the present passive infinitive of Latin certioro, a contraction of certiorem facere ("to ascertain, lit. to make certain"), Certioro was a highly technical term appearing only in jurisprudential Latin, most frequently in the works of Ulpian, who favored it over the facere form.´´

Answer 1

In English, an infinitive is the "to" form of the verb, as in to sleep, to dream, to think, to play, etc.

In Latin, and consequently in all the Romance languages, it's one word. E.g. French: voyer, parler, regarder, etc. In English it becomes "to" plus the verb, and it's considered ungraceful to split them up by inserting a word between the "to" and the verb.

Answer 2

An infinitive is a elementary verb kind. In English, the infinitive kind is distinctly a lot continuously proceded by technique of the preposiion "to." for instance: to be to run to play to kind to invite to talk to sleep for instance, you ought to write: "i choose someone to respond to this question." "I plan to communicate over with my Spanish instructor." "i want to run homestead." In Spanish, infinitives almost continuously bring about -ar, -er, or -ir. All you ought to do is comprehend that that's the verb kind that, in English, in many cases starts off with "to," and also try to be ok.
