Hebrew infinitives have this pattern XiXoX. To remember the infinitive vowel pattern repeat this mnemonic. "Leo the Lion likes to exercise". Here is he interpretation. The word 'Leo' gives the pronunciation of the vowels and the word 'lion' contains the vowel pattern. The word 'exercise' tells you we are talking about the infinitive or the name of the verb. Hebrew verbs will deviated depending on where 4alef, he4, ceyt, 7ayin or re5 are located in a word. But logically. Pay attention to the vowels of the infinitives. Especially when they deviated. Also, pay attention to what consonants are near deviated vowels. I have managed to learn things about Hebrew with my own common sense and then have discovered them in grammar books later. I hope that you can do the same.
