usage - Are there solutions to know which verbs are followed by the infinitive or the gerund?

I can know some patterns like these.

I enjoy cooking.

He wants to swim.

But for other verbs like admit, allow, agree, appear and so on. It seems that I have to remember which verbs are followed by infinitives or gerund.

I know I have to listen a lot. At least I know how to use "can't help" from this song "but I can't help falling in love with you...."

But for learner do we have only to remember them or are there any other solutions?
