A split infinitive, also known as as cleft infinitive, is a grammatical construction in which a word or phrase comes between the <em>to </em>and the bare infinitive form of the <em>to</em> form of the infinitive verb. Usually, an adverb or adverbial phrase comes between them. In this case, the word between the infinitive particle and the bare form is the adverb "really".
