I think things are better when it is understandable.
***** NOT A TEACHER *****
Since your thread has been moved to the "General Discussions" forum, I guess that we are allowed to discuss things that are slightly off topic. (In the "Ask a Teacher" forum, it was necessary to discuss only the function of "to feed my cat.")
Another poster told us that you are a native speaker. So I just wanted to congratulate on your interest in grammar.
As you will know from experience, VERY few native speakers have any interest in grammar, let alone in analyzing what they say and write.
Personally speaking, I hope that you will continue to question any grammar construction that puzzles you. If nothing else, it's a great hobby.
Thanks to you, whenever I read something now, I stop when I come to an infinitive and ask myself: "How is that infinitive being used?"
