ABSTRACT

Infinitives as Adjuncts: in times to come I there isn't a girl to touch her I the correct thing to do ! in a way not to be forgotten I the never to be forgotten look (MEG II, 14. 4 and 15. 8). Fr. la chose a faire I du tabac a fumer. (In G. a special passive participle has developed from the corresponding use of the infinitive: das zu lesende buch.) Spanish: todas las academias existentes y por existir (Galdos). This use of the infinitive in some way makes up for the want of a complete set of participles (future, passive, etc.).
