When a subject is similar to the subject in the main clause, use a non-finite clause. Who used the past? We often use “to-infinite” in non-finite relative clause after ordinal numbers (the first, the second etc.), superlatives (the best, the most beautiful etc.) and after next, last and only, and after clauses (soon, next, last and only).

Why should I be the first to call him? Is there

so much truth to it?
