Always take / to always take
I found the following sentence (a). Isn’t “to” necessay before “always?” (... told me was to always take ...)
(a) Another good tip that the lady at the pet shop told me was always take your dog for a walk before you try to teach him a trick.
If (a) is correct, then is (b) also gramatically right?
(b) His advice is take more exercise.
