Can you say "The Purpose is To Claim/Support/Embarrass/verb"? (Noun - linking verb - infinitive) [closed]
Solution 1:
Yes you can.
Grammatically "purpose" can take either an infinitive or a noun. An infinitive is common.
Here are some British examples, and some American ones.
Some dictionaries consider that "purpose" strictly means something's reason for existence, not just a temporary intention. But others disagree, and usage certainly allows for "purpose" to mean "intention".
