In the English Grammar Profile, B1 Point 42 in the category of VERBS/patterns is defined as:
an increasing range of verbs, typically reporting or mental process verbs, with a ‘that’-clause as the direct object
PELIC STUDENT EXAMPLE:
I started to understand that there are many types of movies, and I started to distinguish between them.
Arabic, Male, Level 4, Writing Class.
*Note that this partly overlaps ’28 present simple B1 2 with an increasing a range of mental process verbs, including ‘remember’, ‘understand’, ‘believe’.” From this, we could surmise additional examples of what ‘increasing range’ means.
