Saying 'I promise to...'
After 'prometo', if you're promising to do something yourself, just add the base '-ar', '-er', or '-ir' form of the next verb. For example, 'Prometo llamar' (I promise to call).
Promising 'that' something will happen
To promise that something else will happen or that someone else will do something, use 'prometo que...'. For example, 'Te prometo que todo estará bien' (I promise you that everything will be okay).
Adding an extra 'a'
Mistake: “Prometo a llamar.”
