Vocablulary List about verbs

Hello,

Is there a vocabluary list for the verbs that go with the infinite?

For example:

ask someone to do something

tell someone to do something

hope someone to do something

...

I am lookng for such a list of verbs,which are frequently used, with infinite verb - "to do", or "doing". You can also tell me the appropriate key words, and I can search it on my own.

Thanks!

iclearwater hope someone to do something That one isn't quite right. The bare (not full) infinitive is used with "hope". I hope you know what I mean.

There is a list at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:English_catenative_verbs#In_the_passive_voice_followed_by_a_to-infinitive

They are presented in passive form for some reason.

There are other sections on the same pag

You and the rest of the world. It is almost scandalous that such lists do not exist, or if they do, they are incomplete. The Wiktionary
