· She asked me not to forget to post the letter.
Only two forms of the Infinitive (the Indefinite Active and Passive to ask/ to be asked) have corresponding forms in Russian. There are no corresponding forms for continuous, Perfect and Perfect Continuous Infinitive; hence they can be translated only in a sentence. The Infinitive of transitive verbs has special forms for the Active and Passive voice.
