Okay, thanks. Our teacher has just been teaching us that the infinitives should always be translated to to + infinitive, no matter if it is on its own, or together with prepositions. I guess he has done that in order not to confuse us, so we will probably learn it later.
I think I will look up on the subject myself now, though. Good examples, btw.

Thanks PlanetHopper - would you mind quickly translating your examples. I definitely understand your point, but not the particular meaning of your examples...

I would go for 'lista de cosas que faltan que hacer' I think, and 'también manzanas ' would be more correct.
Best of all 'una lista de lo que debo hacer' - (ta-daa!) I'm pleased with that! Last edited by Rusty; February 05, 2009 at 09:28 AM.

Quote:
If someone would have asked me how to say "list of books to read", I probably would have said "lista de libros para leer". Now, both options are grammatically correct, and "por" is probably more common/sounds better to you. So I'd like to get input from more people on which is the "better" way to say it. To me it's like this: lista de libros para leer = list of books to be read lista de libros por leer = list of books that are left to read Any opinions?
