Mixed questions
Question 1:
B: When should we go?
A: After six would be nice.
It is weird to have a prepositional phrase as a subject, anyway, is it grammatical?
Question 2:
Jane, please go listen to it.
Whenever this pattern "go + bare infinitive" appears, is it tantamount to "go to 'bare infinitive'"?
Thank you so much. I am really appreciated of it.
