Different non-auxiliary verbs can be followed by different kinds of words and structures. This is partly a matter of meaning: after a word like eat or break, for instance, it is normal to expect a noun; after try or stop, it is natural to expect a verb (though there are exceptions). It is also partly a matter of grammatical rules that have nothing to do with meaning. Before an object, wait is followed by for, expect has no preposition. One can tell somebody something, but one cannot explain somebody something. One hopes to see somebody, but one looks forward to seeing somebody. One advises somebody to see a doctor, but one does not suggest somebody to see a doctor. (…) (Adapted from Swan, M. Practical English Usage. 2008. Section 1 – Grammar)
