Can anyone tell me if zu is written together in the same word with the stem, as in 'zudenken' for example or if there should be a space between the two words?

It is written as a separate word:

Wir sind gekommen, um zu bleiben.

It is different however for separable verbs:

Es wäre leicht gewesen, das nachzulesen.

  • Thanks. The context was 'nach zudenken'. Does putting nach before it make it run together into one word? – hinterbu Feb 7 '16 at 18:54

    Yes, nachdenken is separable: Ich denke nach. Therefore, nachzudenken. – Carsten S Feb 7 '16 at 18:56
