I'll let others deal with the other questions, but this caught my eye: >How about "He used his money to purchase leather." Does the infinitive >modify the noun money? I think that "to purchase leather" is, pretty clearly, what is traditionally called an "infinitive of purpose." As such, I think this would be an adverbial use of the infintive, not a noun-modifying one.
