Hello.
1-) The first thing was to make coffee.
2-) The first thing was making coffee.
3-) The first thing was make coffee.
Which one of them is correct?
I asked a similar question a few week ago.
All I do is make coffee.
All I do is to make coffee.
So according to this, I think 1 and 3 are correct, not sure though. Would you mind helping me out with this problem?

All I do is to make coffee. So according to this, I think 1 and 3 are correct, not sure though. In this example you have 'do'.
- All I do is to make coffee.
- So according to this, I think 1 and 3 are correct, not sure though.
- In this example you have 'do'.
- That makes a difference.
- So you can't conclude that 1 and 3 are correct just because these examples with 'do' are correct.
