Jigneshbharati Please explain the use two "to be" in the context The fact that 'to be' occurs twice in the same sentence is just a coincidence. The first one is governed by the verb 'learn', which takes an infinitive construction that says what is being learned. learn to be proud / learn to be a doctor / learn to sing The second one is governed by the adjective 'proud', which takes an infinitive construction that says what one is proud of proud to be German / proud to be the winner / proud to call him my friend CJ
