Lists of Verbs Followed by To Infinitive

Mempelajari verb maka tidak akan jauh-jauh dengan yang namanya to infinitive. To Infinitive sendiri adalah salah satu pelajaran Grammar yang sedikit memusingkan kepala, sehingga beberapa buku Grammar menempatkan materi pembahasan tentang to infinitive pada bagian paling akhir, alias pelajaran pamungkas. Nah kali ini kita akan membahas tentang beberapa kata kerja (verbs) yang harus diikuti oleh to infinitive.  Sebenarnya memang secara umum, jika ada dua kata kerja berdampingan maka hal yang paling lumrah adalah menambahkan to diantara keduanya seperti yang saya contohkan kemarin:

I want to sleep..

Jika sebelumnya saya membahas tentang verbs followed by gerund, maka sekarang giliran verbs followed by to infinitive. Seperti biasa, Referensi yang saya ambil yaitu dari bukunya Betty S. Azar yang berjudul "Understanding and Using English Grammar edisi Ketiga." biar jika ada yang keliru bisa protes kepada yang empunya buku. Berikut adalah ringkasan yang diberikan Azar (2002:319) tentang beberapa kata kerja yang diikuti dengan to infinitive.

Keterangan:

Nomor 48-73, setelah verbs disisipi oleh Object, baik berupa Noun ataupun pronoun, baru setelah itu diikuti oleh to infinitive.

Jika ada tambahan referensi mengenai daftar kata kerja yang diikuti oleh to infinitive ataupun kata kerja yang diikuti oleh Gerund, silahkan tambahkan. Dan semoga referensi ini bisa dimanfaatkan dengan sebaik-baiknya.
