Grammar
To be the best
I work on the wards and I came across the following on the poster:
Delivering our vision
patient
To be the best for specialist and integrated care.
I understand the meaning of the sentence.
Is it a clause? What is the grammatical function of "to be" here and I can't see the main verb and the subject for my sentence analysis. Thank you
