I would like to know if I need to have the word "to" after and before the next verb or do I need to have "to" infront of the verb.
eg: I learn to eat and run ....... or.........I learn to eat and to run
I am stuck . what is the rule, many thanks
You can omit the second and subsequent occurrences of 'to'.
I want to eat, drink, and dance. I am forbidden to drink, smoke, or swear.
You can include them if you want.

If you want a rule it would be: either include all the 'to's or omit all except the first.
