David worked to help his team (infinitive phrase functioning like an adverb "why")

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 acts as a noun, it answers the question what. Therefore, the infinitive phrase will be the subject that acts as the verb/an object that receives the action of the verb, example, To get excellent grades is my goal. (what is your goal?)
  • When an infinitive phrase functions like an adjective in the sentence, it describes a pronoun/noun. Therefore it will describe a subject/an object, example, I want a coach to teach me basketball.(describes the coach)
  • When an infinitive phrase acts an adverb, it modifies the verb in the sentence. Adverbs answer questions such as where/when/why/how/for what reason/purpose; therefore, as an adverb, the infinitive will answer the same questions, example, Snehal sat down to take the test. (for what/reason )
  • 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.
