You mean verbs whose arguments are other verbs or events?
E.g., "I want to sleep", "I believe I know", etc.?

As I'm following Xorban at a distance, I don't remember if you
have decide to use the same word for "like" as in "I like chocolate"
and "like" as in "I like to swim".

The "polymorphism" approach may be more economic and easy,
but having different words would be more precise.
By the way, mood markers for the main verb could do this job as well.
