I tried making orange juice from concentrate,
but all I got was a really bad headache.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/concentrate

for maybe 3 days, i've been wondering
how natural it is (in English) to use the Root form of verb as in :

----- * I tried making orange juice from concentrate,

to mean [ i tried making O.J. by my powers of thinking (concentration) ]

Did Shakespear or KJV use Root forms of verbs in this way ?

i guess in French it's common :

il vient de partir

J'ai hate de travailler avec vous ...

J'ai hâte de vous revoir et vous remercie de votre aimable attention ...

I couldn't get an erection, so I tried taking viagra, but it got stuck
in my throat, and all I got was a really bad stiff neck.

- Shakespeare “It [mercy] blesseth him .."

- KJV 1 Corinthians 5:3 "am present", "am absent" (present participle).
