clause or phrase? Hi, everyone. I have studied English Grammar for these months. And I got a question about the below sentence. ::: SENTENCE ::: First Choice Bank announced yesterday that its board of directors would meet next Monday to discuss whether to proceed with the merger. :::::: Is the part of this sentence “whether to proceed with the merger” clause or phrase? This is my question. I think it’s clause, because the words “they are” are hidden between ‘whether’ and ‘to’. I mean, this part is actually clause like below. “whether (they are) to proceed with the merger.” If my opinion is incorrect, please tell me the why. Thank you!
