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).

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).
