Why is prohledat in the infinitive?

Because after the modal verb muset, Czech normally uses an infinitive.

So the pattern is:

• musíme + infinitive
• we must + verb

Examples:

• Musíme odejít. = We must leave.
• Musíme čekat. = We must wait.
• Musíme prohledat rekvizity. = We must search the props.

This works very much like English must + base verb.
