Do I need the 'to' ?
The only thing she could think of to calm her shaking hands was to take deep breaths.
do I need the to before the "take deep breaths" ?
is it ok without it?
thank you so much teachers!

I think you may only leave out the to particle here if a form of 'do' comes before 'was'. For example: The only thing she could do was take deep breaths.
