With Sentential Objects forget (that) regret resent realize make clear find out discover see notice There is a general agreement that factive verbs involve presuppositions, although it seems that nobody quite understands what we mean by the term'presupposition'. According to the standard analysis, which was first presented by Paul and Carol Kiparsky (1968), a sentence with a factive predicate is said to presuppose the truth of its complement sentence. This goes for affirmative and negative assertions as well as for questions and imperatives. For instance, all the examples in (2) presuppose (3).(2)(a) Bill regrets that Sheila is no longer young (b) Bill doesn't regret that Sheila is no longer young.(c) Does Bill regret that Sheila is no longer young?
