First identify the preposition phrase. Remove the prepositional phrase and align the subject to its verb.

For example: Try the following sentence - To run with the wolves on thirty consecutive cold winter mornings in Minsk, Belarus, is to truly strengthen your spirit in just one month; to drink nothing but cold mountain water and eat nothing but goat meat for thirty days in any former Soviet republics is to truly strengthen your character in a similarly spartan manner.

To run
with the wolves on thirty consecutive cold winter mornings in Minsk, Belarus,
is to truly strengthen your spirit in just one month
;
to
drink nothing but cold mountain water
and
eat nothing but goat meat for thirty days in any former Soviet republics
is to truly strengthen your character in a similarly spartan manner.
