Common misconception
The verbs 'refuser', 'demander', 'essayer', 'laisser' and 'éviter' are followed directly by an infinitive, e.g. 'éviter faire' ('to avoid doing'), 'refuser faire' ('to refuse to do').
These verbs are followed by 'de' plus an infinitive, e.g. 'éviter de faire' ('to avoid doing'), 'refuser de faire' ('to refuse to do').
Teacher tip
