Abstract Noun yang Diikuti Infinitive

Infinitive (to + verb) digunakan bersama abstract noun (kata benda yang menyatakan idea, concept, feeling, state, atau quality) tertentu untuk menunjukkan bahwa kata benda tersebut berhubungan dengan aksi apa.

Infinitive tersebut digunakan sebagai post-modifier setelah abstract noun (noun phrase = abstract noun + infinitive).
