Presta atención a los siguientes verbos:
| agree | offer | decide | appear |
| forget | refuse | attempt | plan |
| seem | learn (how) | promise | manage |
| arrange | pretend | dare | threaten |
| fail | hope | afford | tend |
Si estos verbos están seguidos por otro verbo, la estructura es usualmente:
VERBO + TO + INFINITIVO
Ejemplos:
- As it was late, we decided to take a taxi home.
- I like George but I think he tends to talk too much.
- How old were you when you learnt to drive?
- They agreed to lend me some money when I told them the position I was in.
-
Ahora observa estos ejemplos con la forma negativa not to . . .
- We decided not to go out because of the weather.
- He pretended not to see me as he passed me in the street
Con otros verbos importantes no se puede usar el infinitivo, por ejemplo con los verbos think y suggest:
- Are you thinking of buying a car? (not 'thinking to buy')
- Tom suggested going to the cinema (not 'suggested to go')
