Is it ungrammatical to use that + a bare infinitive? If so, why?



For example:



I conduct tests that see whether pigeons can be trained.


Instead of:



I conduct tests to see whether pigeons can be trained.

You can use a bare infinitive in the constructions:
1. After modals /must, should, may, can/: for example, you should do this work by yourself.
2. After sense verbs /see, hear/ and verbs /let, make, help/ followed by the object: for example, let us help you do this exercise.
As about your sentences, the first one is grammatically wrong because you need the infinitive of purpose here /i.e., in order to do smth/.
So the infinitive must be with 'to'.

    The use of that + a bare infinitive is grammatical where that is;




    used as the subject or object of a verb to show which person or thing
    you are referring to, or to add information about a person or thing
    just mentioned. It is used for both people and things. It can often be
    left out:




    1. I can't find the books (that) I got from the library.

    2. Is this the train that goes to Braintree?

    3. Have you been to the restaurant that's just opened in town?
