Lesson on Infinitives With and Without "to"

(TESOL Worksheets--Infinitives)
Google Drive Folder HERE
Slideshow: slides, pub
Worksheets: doc, pub
[Notes: I used this to supplement Impact 3, Unit 2, Grammar p. 36.  The context (holding a rat), the specific word patterns, and many of the example sentences all come from that page.  Nevertheless, I also believe this lesson can stand independently of the textbook, and can be used by anyone who wants a lesson on infinitives.
The freer practice at the end (question cards) is a based on a similar activity from TeachThis,  but I've modified it so that it only reflects the word patterns taught in Impact 3, Unit 2, Grammar p. 36.
For the Youtube video, start it at 18:48, and play it for about 2 minutes.
