i think i would put it this way schools have alot of activities you could get involved in i don't like the sentences that you first had they sound really outa grammar sensitive i would stick to the one i added or you can say this schools have alot of functions you can get involved in that sounds way better
It depends on what you want to say. Both are correct but imply different things.
The first implies the schools have functions that they need unnamed others to carry out, because of the use of the passive voice (to be carried out) on the object of the sentence (functions).
The second clearly states the functions are for the schools to carry out and is equivalent to "There are different functions to be carried out by schools." even though this also uses the passive (but on the subject).
Do you see the difference between "I have lots of things to be done" and "I have lots of things to do" ?
Yes. Technically the first sentence doesn't say the speaker won't do any of the things that need to be done but, depending on context, it implies either the speaker is sharing out things to do or is even equivalent to "I have lots of things /for you/ to do."
Yah, right... Thanks a lot..
Thanks for the help..
Now I got it...
I hope that there isn't much difference in the example you given... but a slight difference I found is that in the first sentence, the action should be completed... but in the second, the speaker has to just start doing something..
Am I correct?... :-)
