It’s easy to learn English with the BBC.

Another way to use the infinitive with ‘to’ is to talk about the purpose, or the reason, for something.

For example: I went to the shops to buy some milk.
So, in this example I’m saying that the reason I went to the shop was to buy milk.

Finally, use the infinitive with ‘to’ after quantifiers. The structure for this is: quantifier + noun + infinitive with ‘to’.

For example: I have too many emails to send.
Or: There isn’t enough time to get to the station.
