The infinitive form of that verb is “to scare.” In most languages the infinitive is just one word, but in English it’s usually the word “to” followed by the simple form of the verb.
The verb ‘to scare’ is a regular verb, so the endings are the same as all other regular verbs.
I scare
you scare
he/she/it scares
we scare
you scare
they scare
They are the rules for all regular verbs.
The only one that takes the ‘s’ is the third person singular (he/she/it).
I drink
you drink
he/she/it drinks
we drink
you drink
they drink
I jump
you jump
he/she/it jumps
we jump
you jump
they jump
e.g.movie=it, boy=he, girl=she.
“Scare” is used for every other form of the subject. (I, you, we, they). An infinitive is actually not even a verb. An infinitive is the noun form of a verb. I want “to go” there. “want” is the verb” and “to go” is the direct object.
*: You can use both singular and plural verbs; however, because of this ambiguity, the plural form is used universally.
