The infinitive form of "learn" is "to learn." You can also use an infinitive as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence.
The infinitive is always used after adjectives

TO + VERB= INFINITIVE

Important Note: Because an infinitive is not a verb, you cannot add s, es, ed, or ing to the end.
