Anonymous Which one is correct? Both are correct, but 'to' is unnecessary, and better stylists would omit it.

AnonymousShould I use "to" before the verbs "identify" and "determine"?Both are correct. The to may be dropped after the first element; it is understood to carry through to the other two infinitives.
