All I {need to do | have to do | must do} is do something. But is it correct to use "to do something" after the "is" — as compared with just plain "do something" without the "to"? Or to be more specific, which of the following sentences in each pair is correct, or are both version correct? The second one in each case adds "to" to the formula:
