Grammar
With or without “to”?
The first thing you should do is ( ) your hands.
I believe that “to wash” or “wash” can both be used for the blank. Are both choices grammatically correct? Is it a matter of preference?
Top answer
In this sentence, only 'wash' is correct. You can use either if the sentence begins 'The first thing to do is (to) wash your hands', but even here, 'wash' is better.
