n.b: In these combinations of "verb + de", the word "de" can be translated in English by various prepositions and, if the Catalan verb is translated in English by a transitive verb, "de" is not translated at all (e.g. adonar-se de > to realize (or notice); dubtar de > to doubt (or mistrust); fiar-se de > to trust; penedir-se de > to regret; recordar-se de > to remember).

n.b: The combination "de + infinitive" is usually translated in English by the infinitive "to". However, it is translated by a gerund after the verbs assajar (practice), deixar (quit), evitar (avoid), no poder estar-se (can't help) and parar (stop). It is translated by a gerund or the infinitive "to" with the verbs agradar (like), oblidar(-se) (forget), permetre's (afford), preferir (prefer) and recordar(-se) (remember).
