如:help, hope, ask, refuse, decide, wish, promise, pretend, expect, arrange, learn, plan, demand, dare, manage, agree, fail, prepare, determine, offer, choose, desire, elect, long, (happen, seem) 等等。
e.g. He refused to speak on the radio.

(2) 有些动词只接动名词做宾语
动词: mind, finish, enjoy, suggest, permit, appreciate, consider, miss, dislike, keep (on), avoid, permit, imagine, risk, escape, admit, stand(忍受), allow, forbid, excuse
短语动词:
give up, put off, insist on, be/get used to,can’t help, feel like, object to, set about, prevent…from, look forward to,等

e.g. The Einstein, however, could not afford to pay for/ paying for the advanced education that young Albert needed.

e.g. When we came in, they were beginning to have supper.
After his explanation, I began to understand it/realize that I was wrong.
(4) 有些词后面既可以接不定式。 亦可接动名词,但其意义有很大区别,须特别注意:

go on doing 继续做原来同一件事,动名词作宾语。
advise, allow, permit, forbid后面接单宾语时用动名词,接复合宾语时用动词不定式。
