In the sentence, "Who are you to judge?", what is 'to judge'. Is that the verb or is the verb 'are'?
Thanks.
The verb is "are." "To judge" is an infinitive phrase. I think it'd be classified as an adverbial modifier of "are."
Undoing the inversion that makes the sentence a question, you get "You...are (to judge)...who."
