Help with infinitive
Hi, there
Could you help me?
Do you say "What I most like is read" or "What I most like is to read"? What about "What I most like to do is read/to read/reading"?
And "The things I most love to do is dance and read/to dance and to read/dancing and reading"?
And "what I like to do MOST is.." or "what i MOST like to do is.."?
Thank you!!

"reading/dancing" is the act of doing that thing and so it is a noun. "Read/dance" is the verb. However, "dance" can refer to the act itself and so can be a noun. However, "read" cannot be a noun. This is the quirk of the language! English is difficult because there are so many exceptions!
"What I most like is TO READ"
"What I most like is READING".
"What I most love to do IS TO DANCE"
"What I most love IS DANCING" -- This means you like the act of moving your body
"What I most love IS DANCE" -- This means those movements of the body but you may not be doing it.

There's no clear rule here, but I generally say,
What I most like to do is read.
The things I most love to do are dancing and reading.
"what I like to do MOST is.." or "what i MOST like to do is.."
what I like to do mostly is... OR what I like to do the most is...
what I most like to do is...
