| Apr 30, 2020 at 14:37 | comment | added | Nick2253 | @BillJ Correct. I've edited the answer to hopefully be more clear. I was trying to capture the verb, and muddled the wording through my rewrites. | |
| Apr 30, 2020 at 14:37 | comment | added | BillJ | @briannjs the verb is the infinitival "build". Like most non-finite clauses, it has no overt subject, though we understand it as some arbitrary person(s). What is so confusing about that? | |

| Apr 30, 2020 at 14:16 | comment | added | briannjs | if it is a clause, it should have a subject and a verb, that is , excluding to-infinitive, that's why I am not certain as to saying that it is not introducing a clause | |
