After „entschlossen sein“ (to be determined), you can use an infinitive with „zu“ (to) to say what the person intends to do. The person who is „entschlossen“ (determined) also carries out the action expressed by the infinitive.
Wir sind entschlossen, trotz der Schwierigkeiten weiterzumachen.
We are determined to carry on despite the difficulties.
You can also name the plan using „zu“ (to) and a noun in the dative. Typical combinations are „zu einem Neuanfang entschlossen“ (determined to make a fresh start) and „zu allem entschlossen“ (determined to do anything).
Nach dem schwierigen Jahr war sie zu einem Neuanfang entschlossen.
After the difficult year, she was determined to make a fresh start.
„Entschlossen“ (determined) frequently occurs with verbs such as „handeln“ (to act), „eingreifen“ (to intervene), and „auftreten“ (to appear or conduct oneself), describing the manner of the action. In this use, „entschlossen“ is adverbial and has no ending. When used attributively, it takes an adjective ending, for example: „der entschlossene Mann“ (the determined man).
Als der Streit lauter wurde, griff die Lehrerin entschlossen ein.
As the argument grew louder, the teacher intervened decisively.
