Answer 7

but the verb in D isn't with the "to" "to everyone" isn't a verb

Answer 8

@sleepyjess @pooja195

Answer 9

yeah thats what i was confused on, but "them" isnt a verb either

Answer 10

I still think it's D though because to is a verb. You're sending the cards to the family. So To me To is a "verb" in this sentence.

Answer 11

@Daniee_Bruhh but in an infinitive the verb comes after the word "to" not "to" is the verb

Answer 12

now we're at a loss :D none of these have verbs after "to"

Answer 13

lol That's what I mean. I just didn't know what to call it. every Infinitive phrase starts with to. To isn't the verb but it has a verb following it (in a way) so basically even though there isn't a verb after to we can assume that the verb sent is related to to because who did you SEND the cards TO? To Them. so that's my case lol

Answer 14

the only one I can vouch for so far is C. "go back to" I don't know but it seems like the only one in which the verb "go" is combined with "to"

Answer 15

But @Daniee_Bruhh isnt B the same? "you can go back to them" isnt that implying you can go back to them, which is a verb as well

Answer 16

B also works for what @HannahA said "to" is combined with "go back"

Answer 17

so best case for B?

Answer 18

hold on my book says "sometimes to is omitted when an infinitive follows such verbs as , dare, feel, help, hear, let , etc. " so what about A?

Answer 19

i feel like after reading that A makes the most sense but what do you guys think? @Daniee_Bruhh @HannahA @Awolflover1

Answer 20

Hmm I guess I agree with A after reading what you wrote lol

Answer 21

i figured it makes the most sense , since the other ones dont have a verb after them

Answer 22

true....

Answer 23

i guess A then

Answer 24
