Modifiers Questions Medium
A split infinitive occurs when an adverb or adverbial phrase is placed between the "to" and the base form of a verb in an infinitive phrase. Here are some examples of split infinitives used as modifiers:
1. She decided to quickly finish her homework before going out.
2. He promised to carefully read the instructions before assembling the furniture.
3. They plan to gradually increase the intensity of their workouts.
4. The teacher asked the students to quietly work on their assignments.
5. I need to urgently submit my application before the deadline.
In each of these examples, the adverbs (quickly, carefully, gradually, quietly, urgently) are placed between the "to" and the base form of the verb (finish, read, increase, work, submit), creating split infinitives that modify the actions described.
