Non-Modal Verbs — Two Verbs Together
Many verbs are followed by "to + base verb" (the to-infinitive). Common examples: want, need, decide, hope, plan, agree, refuse, manage, fail, offer, promise, expect, seem, appear, learn, choose. "She decided to leave early." "He managed to finish on time." There is no rule — these must be learnt.
