All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.
这样的结构中,为什么is可以直接和动词原形的stand / look放在一起,中间不需要to隔开或者用动名词形式?
*这里的still解释为什么?
All you have to do (主语)is (系动词)stand still and look stupid.

【答】All you have to do 是主语,is 是系动词,stand still and look stupid 是由 and 连接的两个动词不定式短语充当表语。
如果主语部分有行为动词 do 的某种形式(谓语动词或非谓语动词均可),充当表语的动词不定式可以带或者不带 to。所以:
All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.
= All you have to do is to stand still and look stupid.
