Here are three possible examples: 1. As an inquiry or question: "What is to become of us in this situation?" This use of "what is to" is a way of asking about the future, or what will happen in a certain situation. It could also be written as "What will become of us?" 2. As an explanation or definition: "I don't understand what is to be gained by arguing about this." In this case, "what is to" is being used to explain or define a specific action or outcome. It could also be written as "what will be gained." 3. As part of a conditional phrase: "What is to be said about his behavior, if not that it was absolutely unacceptable?" Here, "what is to" is used in a conditional statement, suggesting that something will happen or be true under a certain condition. It could also be written as "What else can be said..." or "What can be said otherwise..."
