In the skill 8.10 En Route, there are a handful of sentences that are trying to introduce a grammatical concept. They're in the dictionary link for visiter.
The question is What is the grammatical term for the concept involving these sentences?
If you take an infinitive and add a complement to it, the entire locution acts like a subject. Visiter ce pays, Manger ce plat épicée, écouter le bruit de cigales etc. The concept works like English but I'd like to know what it's called so I can look up videos on it.
