The infinitive and infinitive phrase are written in the subject part of the sentence. When used as a subject, infinitives and infinitive phrases are considered singular and therefore require a singular verb (-s form; linking/helpingverb: is, was, has) even if there are plural words present in the phrase. 1. To have fun with friends is more important for boys. 2. To play comes first for boys.  When there are two or more infinitive or infinitive phrase subjects, the plural form of the verb (base form; linking/helping verb: are, were, have) is required. 1.
