Hello,

I need some help.


In the following short dialong, I wonder "it" should be used or not:

A: Why do you need firewood?
B: To give to the fisherman to get some fish.
To give it to the fisherman to get some fish.


I really appreciate your kind attention. Thank you so much.

I think it is fine without "it." However, I don't know how firewood helps get fish! Wouldn't bait or hooks be better?

Could you be more specific?

Do you mean both with "it" and without "it" are okay and correct? Or just without "it" is okay?


Thank you.
