Is there any difference?
Hello, I would like to know if there is any change in the sentence meanings when we omit the words in parentheses:
1) I like to sing and ( to) dance.
2) He travels to pick up packages and ( to) deliver them.
Thank you.

ZygisHello, I would like to know if there is any change in the sentence meanings when we omit the words in parentheses.
1) I like to sing and (to) dance. If you like to sing and dance at the same time, don't use "to". If not, use "to".
2) He travels to pick up packages and (to) deliver them. You can say the sam

And, how about this sentence:
This is the most ridiculous plan ( that) you have ever made.
Thanks.

Hi.
That is a relative pronoun which refers to plan. That is the object of the relative clause and can be omitted.
But keep in mind, relative pronouns cannot be omitted in relative clauses if they represent the subject. Note the following example.
Ex. I cann't sell a car which runs efficiently.
which is the subject of t
