Correctly Written
Hi! Is the below sentence correctly written? Thanks, Fulvio
1. In life you will need things and to do things.
Top answer
It doesn't read properly. If you mean "In life you will need things and need to do things", then you can say that, although it seems slightly unusual. If you don't mean that then I don't understand it.

0yellowstarstruck1. In life you will need [things] and [to do things].
It's strange to combine two different kinds of complements with 'and'.
need things / need to do things
It's not only that but the fact that 'things' and 'to do things' are so vacuous in meaning that makes the sentence come off as trivial.
