[General] Infinitives with multiple verbs: to deploy..., impose

[DANAU]

Hi.

For the sentence below, is it correct to leave out
the ‘to’ before the word “impose” by linking it to the infinitive “to deploy”?

“Australia's Victoria state to deploy military, impose A$5,000 fine on people breaching COVID-19 stay-home orders.”

 

[tedmc]

Yes, the second "to" could be omitted, but that is not a complete sentence. It looks like a headline.

tedmc is correct that it's written in the style of a headline. Danau, can you work out what words need to be added in order to make it a complete grammatical sentence?

Hi emsr2d2.

Here is what I have got.

Australia's Victoria state is set to deploy military, and impose A$5,000 fine on people breaching COVID-19 stay-home orders.

Hi emsr2d2.

Here is what I have got.

Australia's Victoria state is set to deploy military, and impose A$5,000 fine on people breaching COVID-19 stay-home orders.

That's a great try. There are still two articles missing:

1) You need "the" before "military".
2) You need the indefinite article after "impose". You might have made the same reading error I did on first glance and thought it said "a $5,000 fine". However, it says "A$5,000", meaning "5,000 Australian dollars".
