Grammar
To be
Hello, teachers!
Can we omit "to be" here? If so, which is natural, with or w/o?
- When I come home, I want you (to be) doing your homework.
Thank you very much.
Peace!

Yes, you can omit it. The form with the omission may be slightly less formal-- at least, it sounds more like what my father would holler at me.
