Infinitive construction

The infinitive "avoir" is used here as an auxiliary to form the perfect infinitive "avoir organisé" (to have organized).

    Use the perfect infinitive "d'avoir organisé" to thank for a completed action, not the present infinitive.

  • Merci d'avoir organiser ça.

Cultural Tip

In French, "merci de" is the standard way to thank someone for an action, while "merci pour" is used for nouns (e.g., "merci pour le cadeau"). The contracted form "d'" before a vowel is mandatory. Using "ça" makes the sentence sound natural and conversational; in very formal writing you might replace it with "cela".
