which sentence is correct?

[dennywoo]

hi,I'm an English learner in China.I've met one sentence having two forms:
All I have to do is learn English.
All I have to do is to learn English.

According to grammer,I think the sencond one is correct.But I really saw the first one many times also.Please help me explain the difference.In oral or written English,which one is preferred?

thanks in advance

The second one is correct.

The second one is correct.

Disclaimer:I'm not a teacher.
Both are correct. However, we usually omit the particle "to" after the verb "do".
"All I have to do is (to) learn English."

thanks all for your replies.
To my understanding,omitting "to" is more informal,or in oral English
"All I have to do is to learn english" is more formal or in written english.
is that right?
thx

"All I have to do is learn English" is more likely in any case.

Say:

Take your pick.
