I stand corrected. I was thinking of Latin hortatory subjunctives. (sorry for the pretension) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjunctive_mood#Latin_and_the_Romance_languages I guess you don't use it for that purpose in German or English.

You just don't use "zu" in this situation. It sounds wrong and is grammatically incorrect. It is "wir gehen essen", "wir moegen spielen", "ich will lesen" but "ich versuche das zu machen", "ich vergesse etwas zu bringen".
