The underlined word is an infinitive so it's not in any tense. Yes, the use of the infinitive is correct here. However, you need to develop the habit of sticking to basic rules. For example, you don't seem to capitalize words at the beginning of sentences.

Can we say 'thanks very much'? • get off / get out of the train • which - what • Has and Had, Did and Does • I have done the work. vs I have the work done. • Functionally, 'have to' is regarded as a 'modal verb'... • When Dad tuerned 50 we gave him an OVER the hill party. • Happen to / Manage to • impact, influence, effect • It seemed it wanted to rain. vs George would not live without his Paty. • Text: I agree with you completely. Unions can cause a lot of damage... • capsize vs. flip • How convert scandal to verb to use with subject?
