Both sentences are grammatical, the difference is one of form only. In the first sentence the to-infinitve to nod is used as the direct object of the verb is. In the second sentence the bare infinitive nod serves the same purpose as the to-infinitive in your first example.
See the BBC World Service's Learning English site for a good answer to a similar question. |
