ده كلام من موقع اجنبي عن be to infinitive

be + to-infinitive is used to express:

• official arrangements:

  the prime minister is to visit india next month.

• official orders:

  at the end of the course, all students are to take a written exam.

• things that should be done:

  what am i to do?

• a possible aim when saying what should be done to reach it:

  if you are to work here for more than three months, you must have a residence permit.

• prohibition (only in the negative):

  you are not to do that again.

be + to-infinitive can also be used in the past:

mr jones was to speak at the meeting. (it was arranged and he did)

but was/were + to + perfect infinitive means that the arranged event did not actually happen:

mr jones was to have spoken at the meeting, but he had to cancel because of his illness.
