An infinitive in Spanish is the "to" form of a word in English.
Examples:
correr = to run
comer = to eat
escribir = to write
tocar = to play (an instrument)
jugar = to play (a game or sport)
The infinitive form of a word always ends in either an "ar," an "er," or an "ir." The infinitive is considered the basic form of a noun. From there, you conjugate it into different tenses and forms.

It's the same you put to+infinitive, It's the verb without conjugate.
Ir = to go, vivir=to live
comer = to eat, correr=to run
saltar = to jump, tocar= to touch
There are three endings of infinitive verbs in Spanish. This are verbs ending in "ar" "er" and "ir"

Infinitive of a verb in spanish is always the verb without being conjugate at all. as in english to run...to say.....to live
In spanish we have 1st, 2nd. and 3rd congujations
Verbs from 1st conjugations are all those ended in AR...like AMAR, SALTAR, MIRAR
Verbs from 2nd conj. end in ER.......BEBER, TEMER, CORRER
Verbs from 3rd conj. end in IR........VIVIR, SALIR, ESCRIBIR
Isnt it simple???????

Assuming you mean the verb, it means the verb before you congegate it. Like to eat-comer, not congegated at all.

A (pronounced ah), like before mi, or ti.
