Question words + to-mrmitive

We can use a wh- question word + to-infinitive after verbs which express thoughts and feelings, or after verbs of reporting and communicating:

Verbs of thinking / feeling
decide, find out, forget, know, learn, remember, see, think, understand, wonder I don’t know what to do. I’ve forgotten how to ride a bike.
Verbs of reporting / communicating
ask, describe, discuss, explain, show, suggest, tell He explained how to fill in the form. She showed us where to wait.

Ask, show and tell need an object before the question word: The shop assistant told me where to find the belts.

• We can use whether + to-infinitive after decide, know and wonder: I can’t decide whether to buy it (or not). (= whether I should buy it)
