## Infinitive Phrases as Nouns
Infinitive phrases can serve as subjects, direct objects, or subject complements in a sentence.
- **As Subjects**:
- *To travel the world* is my dream.
- Here, "to travel the world" is the subject of the sentence.
- **As Direct Objects**:
- She wants *to learn French*.
- In this case, "to learn French" acts as the direct object of the verb "wants."
- **As Subject Complements**:
- His goal is *to become a doctor*.
- The phrase "to become a doctor" completes the linking verb "is," functioning as a subject complement.
## Infinitive Phrases as Adjectives
When used as adjectives, infinitive phrases modify nouns or pronouns.
- **Example 1**:
