Hi,

I want to know can we use directly noun after to

As we know word Deceit is a noun and I want to say:

Now in the above sentence want is a verb and I used Deceit (Noun) after to

According to Grammar rules after to we use verb not noun

Is my sentence correct ? OR to say same expression I’ll have to use verb: Deceive
He wants to deceive you

I’m expecting answer from experts!

2

You must use the verb. He wants to deceive you. His deceit is egregious.

Hearty Thanks to you :slight_smile:
