Usually, when a verb is followed by an infinitive a preposition follows the first verb. Certain verbs do not require the preposition and are followed directly by the infinitive. They include such verbs as:
aimer (to love)
aller (to go)
compter (to intend)
détester (to detest)
entendre (to hear)
faire (to do, to make)
falloir (to be necessary)
oser (to dare)
vouloir (to wish/to want)
