Questionnaire

In this questionnaire I ask you to translate several sentences from English to Latvian. I am trying to look at the possibility of usage of sentences similar to the one in example (1). Each entry has two English sentences: the first one is proper English, while the second one emulates the intended word order of the Latvian construction (and, as a result, incorrect in English). Write an appropriate Latvian translation in the answer field; if possible, use the aforementioned construction with the infinitive. If a sentence cannot be translated with such a construction, you can write about that right in the answer field, below the correct translation. You may also give general comments at the end of each section.
