"To try to write certain sentences is difficult"

The correct statements are 1, 2 and 3.

1) The sentence is correctly written. The pattern "to try to do something" is correct and can be used.

2) The sentence contains more than one infinitive. It contains two infinitive verbs. TO TRY and TO WRITE.

3) One infinitive is inside another infinitive phrase. "To try to write certain sentences" is an infinitive phrase, it functions as a noun because it is the subject of the sentences. So, the second TO INFINITIVE is inside the main infinitive phrase. (That is the reason why number 4 is not correct)

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
