all I have to do is dream
Sentences:
1) All I have to do is dream.
2) At the height of the financial crisis, all they could do was hold on and hope that the situation would improve.
The predicative components of the two sentences are the original form of the verbs. Are they infinitive phrases whose to was omitted?
Thanks in advance!
