English Grammar

1.Definition

As I surfed on an internet "Split Infinitive" is an adverb that was put after "to" and before "a verb"

2.Explanation

It has been used a lot in Spoken English as It appears to be easier to communicate what people actually wants to say and has been used for centuries. Avoiding using Split Infinitive might change the emphasis of what's being said. Some people object in using Split Infinitive as they think It's not grammatically correct but most people just don't mind using it.

3.Example

She used to secretly admire him.

You have to really watch him.
