Hello, so I have memorized all verbs that take on that clause on the dictionary of Cambridge lists. (cant post link because im a new member but it is just has an extra space between the cambridge. and the org.
dictionary.cambridge. org/grammar/british-grammar/verb-patterns-verb-that-clause
However, I am still confused as the fact as tow when exceptions are allowed. Clearly "To accept defeat would be humiliating" is correct as accept is being used as a noun rather than a verb, but are there any more such exceptions that I should be aware of? Because right now, the underlying assumption of there being that after all the verbs listed in the link above seems like it would be more likely to hurt my ability to answer questions if indeed there are a multitude of exceptions. Thanks for any help in clarifying this, I have my GMAT in a week and I am finally seeming to understand every verbal question, rather than just relying on my previous English speaking abilities. It is extremely satisfying and really reducing the volatility in my verbal score.

Hello, oscarcasas21. You need not worry yourself silly with the "multitude of exceptions" that you could encounter to this grammatical concept or any other. Remember, you will likely see a little over a dozen SC questions on the test, and there will be five answer choices right in plain sight for you to assess, allowing you to weigh the relative merits of any choice against another. With a week to go, you will probably be able to spend your time more productively by practicing SC questions and shoring up any areas that you know need to be addressed. I agree about the satisfaction that comes with reducing score volatility, but at the same time, you want to play the percentages and focus on a broad range of topics instead of restrict yourself to some arcane matter that will not likely show up but once every thousand questions or so.
Best of luck to you.

oscarcasas21 - It is not ideal to memorize a dense list of such verbs. Instead, you must spend some time understanding the concepts of modifiers. I recommend that you check our in-hour Grammar book. The second edition of the Grammar book is published just today.
