Grammar
Be sure to remember the importance of “to” in a verb.
Ex. I need to work vs. I need work.
In this case, the word “to” makes “to work” a verb. Without “to,” “work” becomes a noun.
“I need to work” meaning: I must go work, I have things to do.
“I need work” meaning: I must find work, I have no job.
Extra information: “to” verbs are called infinitive verbs.
Ex. To work, to eat, to do, to be.
