Dobrý den.

Je v pořádku použít po slovíčku “accept” infinitiv?

Našel jsem toto vlákno: ZDE

Jsou obě verze přijatelné nebo je lepší na verzi s infinitivem zapomenout?

Děkuji!

You need to provide a complete sentence so we can be clear about the syntactic context. Anyone can write what they want on a language forum, it's not always correct. The post in your link quotes examples from Malta and Norway. Google gives 94 results for “accept to have”, most of them not written by English native speakers, many of them mean “agree to”, not “accept”. “Accept” is almost always followed by a noun or a “that” clause, not by an infinitive.

Don’t confuse agree and accept. When you want to say that someone expresses their willingness to do something, use agree with an infinitive. Don’t use accept:

> ✗ Some people readily accept to work at weekends.
> ✓ Some people readily agree to work at weekends.
> ✗ Small communities may not accept to be swallowed up by a general European system.
> ✓ Small communities may not agree to be swallowed up by a general European system. (Macmillan)
