Why do we need ''to''?

Hello, I have a natural question. That would be kind of you if you could answer, thanks a lot.

In this sentence: They seem to be good at English.

Why do people put to between seem and be?
  

Top answer

Hello, Because seem and be are verbs, we must put to (a conjunction) between them, this conjunction links the two verbs. In an other aspect, we also put to between two words to mention the purpose(s). Ex: I study to broaden my knowledge.
