Infinitives:

The infinitive is the verb, stated in a neutral tenseless context.

In English you say TO + VERB to show an infinitive, e.g. "I am here TO HELP."

In Afrikaans you say OM TE + VERB. Om te means 'in order to'.

Example:
"Ek is hier OM TE HELP." This present tense sentence.
"Ek was hier OM TE HELP." Past tense example.
"Ek sal hier wees OM TE HELP." Future tense example.
"Ek wil hier wees OM TE HELP." Present tense with modal helping verb WIL.
"Ek wou hier wees OM TE HELP." Past tense with modal helping verb WIL.

ATTENTION:

The difference between Afrikaans and English is this: In English, any further addition to the infinitive comes after the verb. In Afrikaans, that addition comes between OM and TE.

Examples:

I am here TO SING
I am here TO SING a song.
I am here TO SING a song for you.

Ek is hier OM TE SING.
Ek is hier OM 'n lied TE SING.
Ek is hier OM 'n lied vir jou TE SING.
