Tambov Instrument-making college The Complex Object Has executed by the teacher of English language Gorbacheva Irina Igorevna 2012

The Complex Object consists of two elements. They form a unit that cant be divided; therefore its regarded as one part of the sentence – an object. The Complex Object nearly always corresponds to a subordinate object clause in Russian.

The Complex Object may be expressed by an objective-with-the-Infinitive construction, a participial construction and by some others. In these constructions the first element is a nominal element expressed by a noun (in the common case) or a pronoun (in the objective case). The second element is expressed by an Infinitive or by a Participle.

The Complex Object may be used only after certain verbs. The Infinitive (without the particle to) or Participle I can be used after the verbs: see, hear, feel, watch, notice, observe and others. We saw him cross (crossing) the street.-Мы видели, как (что) он переходит (переходил) улицу. Participle I draws the attention to the action in process.

The Infinitive (without the particle to) is used after the verbs make (in the meaning of заставлять), let (in the meaning of позволять). What made you believe it? - Что заставило тебя поверить этому? He didnt let me pay for the taxi. – Он не разрешил мне заплатить за такси. The Infinitive (with the particle to) is used after the verbs: want, wish, like, dislike, love, hate, intend and some others. I want you to leave me alone. – Я хочу, чтобы ты оставил меня в покое.

The Infinitive of the verb to be (with the particle to) is used after the verbs: think, believe, expect, suppose, know. But it may be omitted after the verbs: think, find, consider. I know (believe, suppose) him to be clever. But: I think (find, consider) him (to be) clever.

Participle II is often used after the verb to have. It suggests an action performed not by the person denoted by the subject of the sentence. Did you have your dictations checked? – Ваши диктанты проверили?
