Use “to” with gerunds.
The verb “to” is used when you are using a verb as a gerund, which is when one verb functions as a noun or as a part of a phrase acting as noun. What happened
to the police after Luis lost his job? To sell his flat and move in with his brother became his only option.
You can also make gerund without using “to” to. For
a gerund, not using “to” is a stylistic use. For example, this version of the sentence features two gerunds (“sell” and “move”) that don’t use “to. Luis
Calderone lost his job and was short of money. Removing his flat and moving in a new one became his only options.
While some infinitives are bare infinitives
Certain verbs will never use “to” in with the infinitive: *will, would, shall, should, should, may, might, could, could and must. This also applies to had better, would rather, sooner than,.: and rather than or what.
A number of other verbs may be bare infinitives in certain uses. This seems usually occurs when certain verb relates to the action of the object of the sentence (not the subject) but not all verbs follow this. Example of such verbs include (but are not limited to): want, want, ask, do, sit, cry, go.
Infinitives use “to” and not using it: She made him cry. Then
she left him alone in the middle. (Object is doing and “to” is not used) She began
to cry. (Subject is doing the crying and “to” is used)
