This topic often confuses me. Sometimes I am not even able to understand the meaning of a sentence. For instance, the sentence:
"White to move".
You can hear it in chess, it means that the player with white pieces has to make his turn. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the rule to explain this expression.
"My first movie to watch was ..."
Is this a correct way to use infinitives? It would be nice if you gave me the full rule about it.
