Are this setences correctly written?

- I have to give a lecture about how bacteria affects enamel.
- He gave me a good advice: to never fall in love with someone who is selfish.
- You have to make an apology to your workmate because your bahaviour was horrible.
- I have already given you a chance.
- You have to give a refund because the product was damaged.
- You have to make that phone call before it is too late.

With the following I get always really confused:

- You made a good impression on my family, they think that you are a very hard working person.
- I want to give him a good impression because I want a second date.

Thank you for your time and effort!

P.S: Please correct any mistake you see not only the ones related to the collocations. Thank you!

Some of us dare to boldly go where others hold back.

Split infinitive structures are quite common in English, especially in an informal style. Some people consider them incorrect or careless.
