The verbs that are always followed by another verb in its infinitive form are: agree, arrange, decide, deserve, expect, fail, forget, hope,
intend, learn, offer, plan, promise, refuse, remind and want.
Examples:

The verbs that are always followed by another verb in its gerund form are: admit, appreciate, avoid, consider, deny, enjoy, finish,
imagine, mind, miss, practice, quit, regret, resent, suggest and postpone
Examples

• Sharon finishes working at 9:00
