Select all the statements that apply to the sentence below. To try to write certain sentences is difficult. The sentence is corr
ectly written. The sentence contains more than one infinitive. One infinitive is inside another infinitive phrase. The infinitives are beside each other, but one does not contain the other.
1) The sentence is correctly written. The pattern "to try to do something" is correct and can be used.
2) The sentence contains more than one infinitive. It contains two infinitive verbs. TO TRY and TO WRITE.
3) One infinitive is inside another infinitive phrase. "To try to write certain sentences" is an infinitive phrase, it functions as a noun because it is the subject of the sentences. So, the second TO INFINITIVE is inside the main infinitive phrase. (That is the reason why number 4 is not correct)
