Thank you
If in doubt, an infinitive is the best bet in Spanish, especially when the alternative in English is with an infinitive: we started to prepare.

I had noted the clue, and was 90% sure, but people get amazingly touchy if you presume wrongly.

Edit: Note to post-police: I can't help it if others post at the same time.
