AInfinitive
BGerund
CParticiple
DAdverb
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Infinitive
1. An infinitive is a verb form that does not show a tense.
2. In English it is the base verb, often with "to".
3. "To learn" fits this description.
**Why not the others:** A gerund ends in -ing and works as a noun, a participle works as an adjective, and "to learn" is not an adverb.
