infinitive at the beginning of a sentence

[mattmurdock]

Hi, When do we use infinitive at the beginning of the sentence
I know a couple of situations say so.. :

• Infinitive of purpose

• When we talk about something abstract / poetic

• After certain verbs

• after adjectives

but in a movie I encountered this:

And it would be shameful if she were to die because of you

I understand the meaning though but how it's done? the structure of it maybe or something like that, I think you get the point. I think because it's something poetic but I'm not sure. Could you elaborate that?

As it stands, your (main) question does not relate to your title, since the sentence that you cite does not contain any infinitive standing at the beginning of a sentence.

Please rethink, and repost, your question.
