Summary/Abstract: The existence of more than one infinitival form in Modern German, and the lack of an infinitive in Modern Bulgarian causes difficulties in the acquisition of the German language by Bulgarian learners. The article deals with the development of the infinitival forms, their use in the building of the analytical tense structures, the difference between bare and prepositional infinitives and compares the infinitival structures with the dependent clausal constructions. It also renders some of the possible ways of translating the infinitival German forms into Bulgarian.
