Description The author describes the old Russian infinitive dependent on a predicate of a simple sentence. This infinitive occurs as a) a part of compound predicate, b) an object, c) an adverbial phrase. The main difference between the use of old Russian infinitive and Greek and Latin infinitives consists in various conditions of occurrence of the constructions containing the accusative + infinitive. Owing to the influence of Old Church Slavonic the use of old Russian infinitive shows more agreeing features wuth Greek than with Latin.
