Assignment 2. Complete the sentences using the infinitive to mention a subsequent fact. Here the infinitive may be used to say what somebody found out or learnt at the end of a journey or task (without the idea of misfortune) or to express a disappointing sequel (usually preceded by only).

И последняя функция инфинитива – вводная конструкция (parenthesis). Распознать ее легко, так как она не входит в состав предложения, а всего лишь указывает на отношение автора к ситуации. Здесь можно увидеть такие устойчивые вводные конструкции, как to tell the truth, to speak frankly, to say the least, to say nothing of, to cut a long story short и так далее. To tell the truth, I am tired. To crown it all (в довершение всего) I spilt coffee on my new white dress. Эти вводные конструкции не входят в состав предложений и не отвечают ни на какой вопрос.
