The only prooblem was that there was nothing much to do in the evening but read.
中为什么要用nothing much [ to] do，其中有什么语法点么

Answer 1

problem，拼错了 意思是 问题，是个名词 that引导宾语从句，引出问题是什么，there be句型，意思是 有··· ，was用了is的过去式，过去发生的事，nothing much，是个形容词，意思是非常少，to do，用了动词不定式，表示 去 做，in the evening，在晚上，

Answer 2

there is nothing/something to do 固定搭配
there be +n.+v.不定式
