a: Infinitive ~
b: bacon on the hamburger of the sentence
What: "An infinitive is like bacon on the hamburger of the sentence. It's meat, but it's not the main meat. But when you buy a bacon burger, I bet you're really buying it for the bacon. And the finite verb may not be the real main event of the sentence. Sometimes the infinitive is what matters more."
