Infinitives; Indirect Statement
Latin has six infinitives (present, perfect, and future active and passive). These are used to express indirect statement. The subject of a finite verb (a verb with a personal ending) is in the nominative case. The subject of the infinitive (a verb without a personal ending) is in the accusative case.
