my entire life

I have

always wanted

to be a teacher​

Answer 1

Answer:

to be a teacher

Explanation:

The complement of an infinitive verb will often be its direct object, and the modifier will often be an adverb. For example:

He likes to knead the dough slowly.

(The infinitive verb is "to knead." The complement is its direct object ("the dough"). The modifier is the adverb ("slowly"). They all make up the infinitive phrase (the shaded text).)
