Ashley hopes to win the approval of her coach by switching positions on her volleyball team
(To win the approval of her coach functions as a noun since it is the direct object for the verb hopes.)
Explanation:
- An infinitive phrase will start with an infinitive [to+simple form of the verb]. It will comprise objects and/or modifiers
- Infinitive phrases can function as nouns/adjectives/adverbs, example, To finish her Maths homework without making mistakes was Amanda's goal tonight.
- When an infinitive phrase introduces a main clause, separate the two sentence components with a comma, example, To avoid burning another bag of popcorn, Brenda kept peering through the the microwave's glass door.
- When the infinitive phrase breaks the main clause's flow, we must use a comma both before as well as after the break/interrupter, example, Those blue-coloured ear-rings, to be really honest, do not complement the jumpsuit you are planning to wear to the birthday party.
- When the infinitive phrase ends a main clause, we do not use punctuation to join the 2 sentence parts, example, Jane and her friends went to the shopping mall to purchase gifts for their mother whose birthday was tomorrow.
