An infinitive is the uninflected form of a verb along with to âfor example, to walk, to inflect, to split. A split infinitive is created by placing an adverb or adverbial phrase between the to and the verbâfor example, to boldly go, to casually walk, to gently push.hen to avoid split infinitives. When moving the adverb to the end of a phrase doesnât cause confusion or change the sentenceâs meaning, itâs a good idea to keep the infinitive intactâfor example: He urged me to casually walk up and say hello.
