English has a range of verbs that can be followed by either the infinitive or gerund, and in some cases, the meaning or context of the sentence determines which form is used.
Here is a larger list of verbs that are typically followed by the infinitive:
Additional Verbs That Are Followed by the Infinitive:
Agree
We agreed to meet at the cafe.
Appear
She appeared to be upset.
Arrive

Ask

Begin

Choose
She chose to stay home.
Claim
He claimed to have seen the movie.
Demand
She demanded to speak with the manager.
Deserve

Fail

Hope

Learn

Manage

Offer

Why These Verbs Follow the Infinitive:
Expressing Intentions, Decisions, or Future Actions: Many of the verbs listed (like hope, wish, plan, promise) indicate some form of intention or future goal, and the infinitive is used to specify the action that is intended or planned.
Conventional Grammar: Some verbs simply have a convention of being followed by the infinitive, as determined by usage over time. This is a grammatical feature of the language.
Expressing Ability, Permission, or Obligation: Verbs like manage, help, need, and want involve actions that can be tied to ability, permission, or obligation, and the infinitive expresses the specific action related to these concepts.
A Few More Notes:
Some verbs can be followed by both infinitives and gerunds, but the meaning changes. For example:
Stop to do something (You stop doing one thing in order to do something else.)
Stop doing something (You cease doing an activity.)
Some verbs can follow both the infinitive and the gerund without a significant change in meaning, but the infinitive may be more formal or specific, while the gerund can imply a more general or continuous action.
So, the list I provided earlier is not exhaustive, but it covers the most frequently encountered verbs. It’s important to practice these combinations to understand their proper usage in context.

Certain verbs in English require the infinitive form of the verb (i.e., the base verb preceded by "to") rather than the gerund. This is largely due to the meaning or nuance these verbs convey. In some cases, it’s simply a grammatical convention, and these verbs are traditionally paired with the infinitive.
Here’s a list of verbs that typically follow the infinitive and why:
1. Want
Example: I want to go to the movies.
Reason: "Want" expresses a desire or wish, and the infinitive is used to show the goal or intention of that desire.
2. Need
Example: She needs to study for the exam.
Reason: "Need" expresses necessity or requirement, and the infinitive form emphasizes the action that needs to be done.
3. Decide
Example: They decided to leave early.
Reason: "Decide" refers to making a decision or choice, and the infinitive expresses the action being chosen.
4. Plan
Example: I plan to visit her tomorrow.
Reason: "Plan" involves the intention to do something, and the infinitive is used to specify what action is planned.
5. Hope
Example: I hope to meet you soon.
Reason: "Hope" refers to a future desire or expectation, and the infinitive is used to specify the desired action in the future.
6. Promise
Example: She promised to help me with my project.
Reason: "Promise" expresses an assurance or commitment to do something, and the infinitive form is used to show the specific action being promised.
7. Agree
Example: They agreed to help us with the project.
Reason: "Agree" shows consent or approval, and the infinitive is used to indicate the action they agreed to do.
8. Offer
Example: He offered to drive me home.
Reason: "Offer" indicates giving or suggesting an action, and the infinitive is used to indicate the action being offered.
9. Refuse
Example: She refused to answer the question.
Reason: "Refuse" involves rejecting or declining an action, and the infinitive form indicates the action that was refused.
10. Expect
Example: I expect to receive the package soon.
Reason: "Expect" refers to anticipating or looking forward to something, and the infinitive is used to express the action expected to happen.
11. Try
Example: She tried to open the door.
Reason: "Try" indicates an attempt to do something, and the infinitive expresses the specific action being attempted.
12. Would like
Example: I would like to order pizza.
Reason: "Would like" is a polite way of expressing desire or preference, and the infinitive form shows the action being desired.
13. Learn
Example: He wants to learn how to play the piano.
Reason: "Learn" indicates the acquisition of a skill or knowledge, and the infinitive is used to express the action being learned.
14. Beg
Example: I beg to differ with you.
Reason: "Beg" (in this context) refers to requesting or pleading for something to happen, and the infinitive is used to indicate the specific request.
15. Afford
Example: We can't afford to buy a new car right now.
Reason: "Afford" refers to having the financial means or ability to do something, and the infinitive expresses the action that could potentially be done.
Why Do These Verbs Follow the Infinitive?
Indicating Intent or Desire: Many of these verbs express an intention, decision, desire, or future action (e.g., want, plan, decide), and the infinitive is used to specify the action that is desired or intended.
Expressing Future Actions: Verbs like hope, expect, and offer involve looking forward to a future action, and the infinitive is used to show what action is expected or offered.
Conventional Usage: In some cases, it is simply a grammatical convention that certain verbs are paired with the infinitive rather than the gerund, even though both forms might seem logically possible. This distinction is a part of the language’s structure, learned through usage and not always due to a clear logical reason.
In short, these verbs require the infinitive to express desires, decisions, intentions, offers, or future actions. The infinitive form emphasizes the purpose or goal of the action being discussed.

Some verbs do not take the infinitive form and are instead followed by the -ing form (gerund). This happens because the meaning or usage of certain verbs is tied to a specific construction that requires the gerund form, not the infinitive. The choice between gerund and infinitive can also reflect differences in meaning or nuance.
Here are some common verbs that do not take the infinitive and are followed by the -ing form:
1. Enjoy
Example: She enjoys reading books.
Reason: "Enjoy" indicates pleasure or satisfaction in the action itself, so the gerund emphasizes the activity.
2. Avoid
Example: He avoids eating fast food.
Reason: "Avoid" refers to deliberately staying away from an activity, so the gerund conveys the idea of an action being avoided.
3. Consider
Example: She is considering moving to another city.
Reason: "Consider" involves thinking about or reflecting on an action, which requires the gerund to express that action being thought about.
4. Suggest
Example: I suggest going for a walk.
Reason: "Suggest" refers to recommending or proposing an action, which is typically expressed with the gerund to show the action being proposed.
5. Finish
Example: They finished cleaning the house.
Reason: "Finish" indicates completing an action, and the gerund form is used to highlight that the action is complete.
6. Risk
Example: She risks losing her job.
Reason: "Risk" involves exposure to danger or loss, and the gerund shows the action being exposed to risk.
7. Mind
Example: Do you mind waiting for a few minutes?
Reason: "Mind" refers to the ability to tolerate or object to something, so the gerund is used to refer to the action that might be objected to.
8. Admit
Example: He admitted cheating on the test.
Reason: "Admit" involves acknowledging or confessing an action, and the gerund form emphasizes the action that is being admitted.
9. Imagine
Example: Can you imagine living in a different country?
Reason: "Imagine" refers to forming a mental image of an action, which makes the gerund the appropriate form to show that action.
10. Keep
Example: She keeps talking during the meeting.
Reason: "Keep" refers to continuous action, so the gerund form conveys the ongoing nature of the action.
11. Delay
Example: They delayed leaving the city until the morning.
Reason: "Delay" refers to postponing an action, and the gerund shows the action that is being delayed.
12. Deny
Example: He denied stealing the money.
Reason: "Deny" involves rejecting or refusing the truth of an action, and the gerund is used to express the action that is being denied.
Why Do These Verbs Not Follow the Infinitive?
Meaning: Some verbs, like "enjoy" or "suggest," focus on actions themselves and how they relate to the subject's feelings or opinions about them, so the gerund (which expresses an action or process) is the natural fit.
Action-oriented Verbs: Verbs like "avoid," "finish," or "risk" describe actions that are typically considered as ongoing or completed events, where the gerund reflects the action itself.
Noun-Like Uses: Gerunds are often treated like nouns, so verbs that emphasize an action being carried out or discussed (e.g., "admit," "deny," "imagine") take the gerund to focus on the activity.
In short, these verbs don't take the infinitive because they have specific meanings or functions in the sentence that align better with the gerund form, which emphasizes actions, processes, or states as nouns.

Some verbs can be followed by the -ing form (gerund) instead of the infinitive form. The choice between the infinitive and the gerund depends on the verb itself. Some verbs are followed by the gerund (-ing form) and not the infinitive. Here’s a list of verbs that are typically followed by the -ing form (gerund):
Enjoy
Example: She enjoys reading books.
Avoid
Example: He avoids eating junk food.
Suggest
Example: I suggest going to the beach.
Finish
Example: They finished working on the project.
Consider
Example: She is considering moving to another city.
Mind
Example: Do you mind helping me with this?
Keep
Example: He kept talking during the meeting.
Recommend
Example: I recommend seeing that movie.
Miss
Example: I miss playing with my friends.
Practice
Example: She practices singing every day.
Delay
Example: They delayed leaving for the trip.
Admit
Example: He admitted cheating on the test.
Imagine
Example: Can you imagine living in a different country?
Risk
Example: She risks losing her job if she doesn’t improve.
Denial
Example: He denied stealing the money.
In summary, some verbs take the gerund form (e.g., enjoy doing, recommend seeing), while others take the infinitive (e.g., want to do, need to see). It’s essential to learn which verb uses which form.
