    What is the correct answer for your question and how do you answer it?

    In any sentence, what you are describing as a to-infinitive is what in English is simply called the verb. Every sentence must be verbal. Infinitive for verb is ‘to action’, e.g. “to… or act”. ‘to give’, ‘to take’, ‘to put’, ‘to read’.

    Is over complicating this subject unnecessarily confusing yourself? What’s a verb, and not a to-infinitive, for instance?

    Since English is not as complicated as other languages, it is very accessible. Is there a sentence without three elements? When a cat is sat on the mat, it has a verb (to sit ), has someone who sits (the cat ) who is the subject, and has something that is sat upon (the mat) which is the object.

    As long as you have the basic elements, a sentence is valid.

    1. What is a verb? It is the word which is derived from your “to” infinitive, i.e. to. ‘sat’ is the past tense of ‘to sit’.

    2. Who is sitting? He is the subject.

    3. What is he sitting on? Here is the object. That is the object of the object.

    What is the best way to cut Bread? The verb is ‘used’,’to use’. Is there an infinitive and a second verb, ‘to cut’? This second verb is easy, because it is always ‘to cut’. What else are you changing? It always remains in the infinitive form.

    ‘Used_’ might soon become present tense, i.e. ‘use’, or maybe even ‘I am using’. In the future tense it would be ‘I may use’. Is there any way that any specific change to verb or subject could modify ‘to cut’, because the rules of grammar are an interplay of verb and subject, so don’t change other parts of the sentence. On this, ‘to cut’ never changes.

    Who gave me the decision to call the sentence a use clause.

    What do I say: if you can identify the verb, the subject, and the object, then whatever remains in the sentence is their purpose.

    What is the verb? Why is it used by us? To use. Who
    is doing the using? What is its meaning for you? “What is
    he using” I. (Subject) What is he using? What is knife? Why
    is he doing something similar using it? What is their purpose? To split bread up. = Purpose clause….. =

    = Clause clause. = = Clause clause.
