1 All our pens are manufactured to be identical in design and performance.

2 All our pens are manufactured is identical in design and performance.

其實用to be 或 is 有甚麼不同,又例如下兩句

3 It is normal for each pen to be tested individually by our QC Department.

4 It is normal for each pen was tested individually by our QC Department.

我想知成日用to be 甚麼,甚麼,其實要講的啦事情已過去,點解還用to be不用 is 呢?

首先應該指出,2同4兩句係錯o既。
其實點解要有 to + verb 呢?呢個先係你o既問題,唔單只係 to be。要知道,動詞(除左 modal verbs 如 can / will 或者o係 present perfect 同 past perfect 等完成式外 {如 have/has/had done})都係唔會緊接住另一個動詞。諗下d簡單、大家都記得唔會錯o既句子:
I want to go to her party.
want 後如果再接動詞,要有to,呢個叫做 to infinitive(相對 modal verb 後就用 bare infinitive,即冇左to)。如果一個動詞唔足夠講你要講o既意思(如上例「想」,想做乜呢?),咁就要用 to infinitive 去補足。
你o既第一句,all our pens are manufactured 講到被製造出o黎,但未講到造成點,所以要用 to be identical... 補足。
睇第二句,All our pens are manufactured,再加 is identical 〔其實應該係 are identical〕的話,你就要諗下:
X is happy. is/am/are 後一個形容詞,就係形容 X 呢個名詞(句子o既主詞)。咁第二句o既主詞係 All our pens 定 All our pens are manufactured?當然係前者,所以話第二句錯左。
第三句其實用左一個常用句式:it is + adjective + (for + something/somebody) + to + verb。第四句除左可以引上述說明理解,仲係違反左呢個句式。
