hey all
i would like to know the correct usage for the following :
1.
"to try to" ...what is the correct context...or grammatical rule for such usage..
2.
i have often come across SC's which start with How and what .
what's the deal with starting a sentence with a question?
thanks

1. I would like to try to explain this to you.
All "proper" English sentences should have both a subject and a verb. As you may know, some sentences have multiple subjects and/or multiple verbs.
"to try to" is not a fixture of its own; rather, the first "to" in the sentence is what's known as the infinitive attachment to a verb (in this case, "to try"). The second "to" is the necessary infinitive attachment to the second verb (in the example above, "to explain").
2. You can always start a sentence with a question, in any language.
I take it you speak German.
Warum kann man einen Satz nicht mit einer Frage beginnen?
Was ist los damit?
