Sentence with a predicate consisting of preposition + infinitive

The infinitive follows prepositions Hr, m, r at the end of a nominal sentence and is treated as an adverbial predicate. This sentence is known as Pseudo-Verbal Construction or PVC.
The preposition m is used with action verbs, while the preposition r is used to express a future meaning. It gives a different meaning when used with an infinitive at the end of a verbal sentence where it expresses intent.
