In English a common construction with the infinitive is saying, for example, "I want to buy bread".
In Serbian we prefer to use a construction with "da" + the present tense. For example:
Hoću da kupim hleb (I want to buy bread)
Moram da kupim hleb (I have to buy bread)
Using the infinitive is too legal, but less common:
Hoću kupiti hleb (I want to buy bread)
Moram kupiti hleb (I have to buy bread)
