請問你的例句中"The answer is read the Bible." 是省略to 嗎？The answer is (to) read the Bible? 寫成The answer is reading the Bible也可以嗎?

The answer is to read the Bible.The answer is read the Bible.The answer is reading the Bible.都可以，第一個文法最正確，但此三種說法美國人都會說。如果你對聖經有興趣，請私下聯絡我。

Michael Wen Michael,I am to read the Bible. (1) grammatically correctThe infinitive phrase “to read the Bible” could serve as the subject complement.I am read the Bible. (2) grammatically incorrectThe bare infinitive phrase “read the Bible” couldn’t serve as the subject complement because “read” would be misinterpreted/ misunderstood as the second finite verb, i.e. the subject “I” could contextually pair with the second finite verb “read”.The answer is to read the Bible.
