What role does the infinitive phrase play in this sentence Johnna went to store shop.?

The sentence "Johnna went to store shop" is grammatically incorrect. It appears to be missing a verb and an object.

An infinitive phrase is a phrase that starts with "to" followed by a verb. For example, "to shop" is an infinitive phrase.

To help you understand how an infinitive phrase might work in a sentence, let's consider some possible corrections to your original sentence:

* Johnna went to the store to shop. (Here, the infinitive phrase "to shop" acts as the purpose of Johnna's trip.)

* Johnna went to the store to buy some groceries. (Here, the infinitive phrase "to buy some groceries" tells us what Johnna intended to do at the store.)
