Gerund, to-infinitive or bare infinitive? The first thing I wanted to do was [closed]
Which of these sentences is correct:
- The first thing I wanted to do was send you a text.
- The first thing I wanted to do was to send you a text.
- The first thing I wanted to do was sending you a text.
Thanks.
Solution 1:
The to-infinitive and bare infinitive work here—the gerund does not.
