Alo George! >There is normally no preposition before infinitives (and even using >the -r infinitive form is optional in a case such as this one). Me ia era. Me ia construi la frase como en un lingua romanica, con la preposada ante la infinitivo. Ma me no acorda con tu en la posablia de no usar la infinitivo en esta casos. Me sabe ce en LFN es posable usar o no usar esta forma pos la verbos aidante, ma me pensa ce esta regula es tro confusante en alga casos. Un esemplo es la frase "me vole es bon". Esta frase pote sinifiar "I want to be good" e "my intention is good". Si nos usa sempre la infinitivo en esta casos, no va esister alga posiblia de confusa.
