Your inquiry can be addressed by noting that the phrase "John wants to really do well on this exam" has a specific issue: the presence of a split infinitive.

A split infinitive, which may also be referred to as a cleft infinitive, represents a grammatical structure where an element intervenes between the to and the base form of the verb that follows it. Typically, this interruption comes from an adverb or an adverbial expression. In this particular example, the term inserted between the infinitive particle and the main verb is the adverb "really."

This sentence demonstrates a split infinitive. In the expression, John wants to really do well - the infinitive gets disrupted by the adverb really situated between to and do. It's advisable to steer clear of this construction, and a preferable wording would be John really wants to do well...

How is “The Open Boat” structured? How does this structure affect the pacing of the text?
Naddika [7460]

In "The Open Boat," the narrative explores the challenges faced by four individuals who find themselves in a lifeboat after their ship goes down. The unfolding of events provides insight into each character, although we only delve deeply into the correspondent's thoughts. Through his reflections, we discover their perspectives on both life and death. The setting remains largely unchanged, as do the characters. Consequently, the pace of the story is dictated by the trajectory of the characters' thoughts and actions, particularly that of the correspondent. When the narrator contemplates the universe's indifference towards humanity, the pacing accelerates. Conversely, when the narrator experiences contentment with his existence, the pacing slows down. The rhythm of the poem plays a crucial role in conveying its deeper meanings.
