Split Infinitive
Split Infinitive
Split Infinitive : The general rule is that no word should separate the 'to' of an infinitive from the simple form of the verb that follows. If a word does come between these two components, a split infinitive results. It was used to be seen as a grammatical crime to split an infinitive, although the rationale for this view is not clear.
NOTE: "To" should not be separated from its verb by inserting any adverb between the two.
A. This ban on the splitting infinitive was misguided. There are many adverbs that need to be placed immediately before the verb. E.g. I ought to flatly refuse. We have to always be careful.
B. If you put the adverb somewhere else, you change the emphasis, and the sentence looks awkward. e.g.
Whether you put an adverb between the 'to' and the verb is a matter of style and meaning. We have to sometimes revise old grammatical terminology.
