What do you mean most “to be” forms are wrong? In fact, they’re usually correct in my experience. The times when they are wrong are (1) parallelism error, or (2) idiom error.

Can’t really think of other instances, but those should cover them.

Example of (1): Running is not my favorite form of exercise, but to bike sure is.

“to bike” must be “biking”, to maintain parallelism.

Example of (2): -eh, can’t think of one on the spot- i’ll edit this post when i think of one later (busy with stupid college essays :()

Anyways, if you could explain/expand, thanks.
