Correct to-infinitive modifying the sentence as a whole?
Hi. Is the underlined part correct? In other words, is this sentence correct?
He announces the names of those coming to the event, this to be followed by the ceremony.
If I am not mistaken, we do use what I think are to-infinitives to modify a sentence as a whole, like this. I think the underlined part modifies the previous clause as a whole - not sure, though.
First there will be the opening ceremony, to be followed by the plenery speech.
