| Form: object +infinitive |
| In many cases, verbs are usually followed by object + infinitive. However, it's not possible with a "that-clause" in some verbs. |
| Examples: Ana didn't want Alex to drive. (NOT Ana didn't want that Alex drive.) I didn't ask Dean to help out. (NOT Bill didn't ask that Dean help out.) |
| Here are the list of verbs that can be followed by object + infinitive: advise like allow love ask mean (can't) bear need beg oblige cause order command permit compel persuade encourage prefer expect recommend forbid remind force request get teach hate tell help tempt instruct trouble intend want invite warn leave wish |
| Verbs such as let, make, see, hear, feel, watch, notice, have, and at times know and help are usually followed by object + infinitive without to. |
| Examples: I hear them sing. I saw her drove the car yesterday. Don't make her cry again. |
| However, there are verbs where the form: object + infinitive can't be applied. (e.g. suggest) |
| Examples: I suggest that we all should listen first. Mike suggested that we all go out for dinner tonight. The manager suggested that we come up with something different. |
| Note: Most of the verbs in the list are also used in other structures such as the forms -ing or that-clause. |
