I don't know how to combine this sentence. Can you please help me.
using infinitives.

1. The prisoner had one last request. His request was that he be permitted to see his mother.( infinitive)

Since this sentence already has a infinitive, how do you combine this sentence. I'm confused.

I understood that an infinitive will never be a noun, adjective, etc., it is simply wrong to say it. It is an infinitive. It can act as a subject, object, etc.

An infinitive will never be a noun, adjective, etc., it's just incorrect to say so. It's an infinitive. It can act as a subject, object and so on.
