Yes, "to be," to is a preposition, yet be is a verb. So what part of speech is "to be."

it's a verb =] . I always remember from spanish because estar and ser are both verbs for "to be".

It's a phrase, not a word, so you cannot categorize it in that manner. To is a preposition, and be is a verb. That simple.

If you put the two together, "to be" is a verb in the infinitive form. If you take it out of the infinitive, it becomes "I am, you are, he/she/it is, we are, they are."

You need to put it in the context of a sentence. Is infinitive one of your choices?
