Promise to

[FalaGringo]

I am aware that "Promise that" is probably the best option to use,however, I would like to know if "Promise to" may also be acceptable grammatically.

Here are some examples...
"I promised to take the dog out for a walk today."
"I promised to speak to her about it later."

What are your thoughts?

Here are two examples...
"I promised to take the dog out for a walk today." :tick:
"I promised to speak to her about it later." :tick:

The phrase "promise(d) to" is quite natural.

How did you become aware that "Promise that" is the best option?
