Please check my answer(s) for me. I don't think I understand what adverbs, adjectives, or nouns are in infinitve phrases.

Directions: Write the infinitive or infinitive phrase from each sentence. Then write noun, adjective, or adverv to identify its function in the sentence.

1. People have always sought to protect their rights. Infinitive phrase: To protect their rights, adverb
Answered by Reed
Correct!
Answered by Ms. Sue
It's not an adverb.

What kind of word answers "what?" after a verb?

Ms. Sue is right. I goofed. Sorry.
Answered by Destielforever
The whole sentence is, "People have always sought to protect their rights."

I think the infintive part of the sentence is: To protect their rights.

So instead of an adverb, wouldn't it be an adjective since its describing the sentence more clearly?
