breathe vs breath

[*Delta*]

hello every one,
can any one tell me what is the specific difference between
breath and breathe.
and in what situations i can use any one of them.

thanks in advance

Hi Delta,

Easy peasy - breath = noun breathe = verb. Isn't there a pop song 'Every breath you breathe' ? I'm sure you'd know better than I.

to breathe one breath..

Hi Gronny,

Do you mean infinite tense or infinite form?

[Torsten]

I'm not so sure there is such a thing as an "infinite tense".

Yeah, except I think it was recorded by his group, "The Police" (not sure if "The" is supposed to be capitalized).
