Sep 15, 2020 at 11:48 comment added RDBury I don't think the first sentence is quite right, could you rephrase it? I take it the upshot is: (stuff) (modal verb) (other stuff) (infinitive verb). Also, I assume the asterisk means that example is incorrect. It would help if you gave an example with a subclause as well. Would Ich muss schneller laufen, um rechtzeitig zur Schule zu kommen. work? Can a subordinate clause come between the modal and infinitive verb? Ich muss, um rechtzeitig zur Schule zu kommen, schneller laufen, seems awkward at best. Sorry for nitpicking; I really do appreciate the additional detail.
