WEEK 1 I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM

Certain verbs may be followed by an object and then by an infinitive with to – I told you to do it. The negative infinitive is formed with not – I told you not to do it.

subject	verb	object	(not) to + infinitive
Marco's mother	ordered	him	to get into	the car.
Elena	told	the children	not to touch	the glasses.

The following verbs take this pattern:
advise allow ask beg command encourage	forbid force instruct invite oblige order	permit persuade remind tell want warn

http://www.grammaring.com/verb-object-to-infinitive http://www.fiestaesl.com/verbobj.html
http://speakspeak.com/english-grammar-exercises/intermediate/verb-object-to-infinitive

We use 'infinitive + to':

1. after adjectives, 'nice' , 'happy', 'difficult' etc.:

It's nice to see you.

2. to express purpose or reason:

He joined the club to get some exercise.

3. after 'too' and 'enough':

He's too tired to win the race.
She's not fast enough to win the race.

4. after superlatives and first, second, third etc. object of a sentence:

The most difficult thing is to score a goal.
The first thing you do is to change your shoes.

5. after certain verb, 'advise', 'agree', 'allow', 'help', 'learn', etc.
I'll help you to finish it if you like.
