Answer: Form
The infinitive of a verb has two forms: the to-infinitive and the infinitive without to. The to-form consists of to plus the base form of the verb:
I want to speak to you.
We came here to work, not to play.
The form without to consists of the base form of the verb:
She made us wait for half an hour.
John lets the dog sleep on the sofa.

Verbs followed by an infinitive without to
We can use the to-infinitive in a clause with a verb that has no subject (a non-finite clause). The to-infinitive focuses on the idea of an action or the results of an action, rather than the action in itself:
To work in a developing country had always been her ambition.
To get there before lunch, you would have to take the seven o’clock train.

Infinitive without to
We use the infinitive without to after modal verbs can, could, may, might, will, shall, would, should, must:

We also use the infinitive without to after let, make and (optionally) help:
