Verb (object) to-infinitive clause

When we report offers, suggestions, orders, intentions, promises, requests, etc. we can follow some verbs in the reporting clause (33-cü dərsə bax) with

* a to-infinitive clause:

• 'I'll take the children into town.' -> She offered to take the children into town. (not She offered me to take the children...)
• 'The theatre will be built next to the town hall.' -> They propose to build the theatre next to the town hall. (not They propose them to build...)

Other verbs followed directly by a to-infinitive clause include agree, demand, guarantee, promise, swear, threaten, volunteer.

*an object to-infinitive clause:

• 'You should take the job, Frank.' -> She encouraged Frank to take the job.
• 'Don't worry about the air fare - we'll pay.' -> We told her not to worry about the air fare.

The object usually refers to the person who the offer, suggestion, etc. is made to; that is, the person who performs that action in the reported clause (33-cü dərsə bax). Other verbs followed by an object to-infinitive include advise, ask, call on, command, instruct, invite, order, persuade, recommend, remind, request, urge, warn.

Compare the use of ask with and without an object before a to-infinitive clause:

• We asked to leave our bags outside the exam room. (= this is something we wanted)
• They asked us to leave our bags outside the exam room. (= this is something they wanted)

Verb that-clause or verb to-infinitive clause

After some verbs we can use a that-clause instead of a to-infinitive clause:

• He promised to arrive on time.     or       He promised that he would arrive on time.
• Kathy demanded to he allowed in.    or       Kathy demanded that she (should) be allowed in.

Verbs like this include agree, expect, guarantee, hope, propose, request, vow. With a rfear-clause the person promising, etc. and the person referred to in the reported clause may be different:

• He promised that he wouldn't be late. ('He...' and '...he...' may refer to different people)
• Kathy demanded that John should be allowed in.

Verb that-clause (not verb to-infinitive clause)

After the verbs insist, order, say and suggest we use a that-clause but not a to-infinitive clause:

• The team captain said that 1 had to play in goal. (not ...said to play...)
• There were cheers when he suggested that we went home early. (not ...suggested to go...)

Advise and order can be used with an object to-infinitive clause (see above) or a that-clause:

• I advised that she should accept, (or I advised her to accept.; but not I advised to accept...)

Verb to-infinitive clause (not verb that-clause)

After some verbs we use a to-infinitive but not a that-clause:

• Carolyn intends to return to Dublin after a year in Canada. (not ...intends that...)
• The children wanted to come with us to the cinema. (not ...wanted that...)

Other verbs like this include long, offer, refuse, volunteer.

When we report a suggestion, either what the person reported might do themselves, or what someone else might do, we can use a reporting clause with advise, propose, recommend, or suggest followed by an -ing clause rather than a that-clause:

• The lecturer recommended reading a number of books before the exam. (or ...recommended that the students should read a number of books before the exam.)
