Complex Object Construction.






I. The Complex Object Construction with the Infinitive is a construction in which the infinitive is in predicate relation to a noun in the Common Case, a personal pronoun in the Objective Case, an indefinite pronoun or pronominal word "one".

e. g. Soams, glancing at her beneath his eyelids, nodded, and he saw Irene steal at him one of her unfathomable looks. (Galsworthy)

Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past Let It go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. (Brooks Atkinson)

Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself.

Note 1: Nouns, Adjectives and Participles can stand for the second element of the construction as well.

e.g.: Her figure swayed, so balanced that the very air seemed to set it moving. (Galsworthy)

Faithfully he followed their customs, social and otherwise, and secretly he thought them a common lot. (Galsworthy) I consider him the very person to speak to. I want this work done at once.

Note 2: In a Complex Object Construction, after the main verb in the Perfect, the Infinitive is more common than the participle.

e.g.: I have never heard him speak Chinese.

With some specific time indicated, after the Simple Past tense Participle I is more natural if the action is shown in its progress.

e.g.: When I entered I heard him speaking to someone.

 

The use of the Infinitive is undoubtedly required if a succession of actions is expressed..

e.g.: I saw them cross the street and enter the shop,

II. The construction is termed a-predicative complex since its components stand in the relation of predication to each other – a relation between the doer (or sufferer) of the action and the action itself.

e. g.Would you like me to leave college and go into a dramatic school? (J. Webster) (me - the doer of the action)

"If you insult me I shall have you turned out of here," she said, (you - the sufferer of the action)

III. A syntactic peculiarity of the construction is that its elements
are not to be treated separately; they form one syntactic unit
which functions as an object - a complex object at that.

(Unlike a simple object a complex object comprises components)

e.g.: I want to have my clothes, /simple object// want to have my clothes dry-cleaned, (complex object)

 

 

IV. The Complex Object Construction is peculiar for English.

 

In translating the Complex object Construction into Russian we nearly always use a subordinate clause.

e. g. He’s wonderful teacher and I’ve never seen him lose his temper or get angry about anything. (Wilson)

Он замечательный учитель, и я никогда не видел, чтобы он вышел из себя или рассердился из-за чего-нибудь.

 

V. There are definite groups of objective verbs after which the Complex is used. To these refer the following:

1). Verbs of sense perception: to hear, to see, to watch, to feel, to observe, to notice, etc.

Note 1. Mind the bear infinitive after these verbs.

Note 2. Mind a non-perfect infinitive after these verbs. (The idea of priority in a perfect infinitive is incompatible with sense perception)

Note 3. After verbs of sense perception only active infinitive is used. If the meaning is passive we use Participle II.

e. g. I saw the fire slowly conquered.

Note 4. To denote process Participle I Indefinite Active is used.

e. g. His son saw him gravely hanging up his coat, with an expression on his face like that of a boy who intends to steal cherries. (Galsworthy)

Note 5. After the verbs to see, to notice the Complex Object is not used with the verb to be; a clause is used instead.

e. g. “No! I am not in debt!” Old Jolyon saw that he was angry, and touched his hand.

 

Note 6: The verbs to see, to notice implying "to realize", "to understand" are followed by a clause - not by the Complex Object Construction.

e.g.: Everybody saw that Eliza wasn't the girl to marry him, but kept silent.

I see that you don't know this poem by heart.

I've noticed that you liked classical music.

Note 7: After the verb to hear implying "to learn", "to be told" a clause or a gerund is used - but not the Complex Object Construction.

e.g.: I hear that he left for the South, (of his having left for the South)

Я слышал (мне сказали), что он уехал на юг.

2). verbs of mental activity and declaring: know, think, consider, believe, suppose, expect, imagine, find, feel, trust, find, etc.-, declare, report, announce, pronounce, etc.

Note 1: After these verbs to be is widely used in the Complex Object Construction:

 

e. g. He knew himself to be old, yet he felt young; and this troubled him. (Galsworthy)

He declared him to be the most disobedient child in existence.

Note 2: With the verbs to think, to consider, to find the same idea can be expressed without an infinitive.

e. g. Faithfully he followed their customs, social and otherwise, and secretly he thought them a common lot. (Galsworthy) She found the subject rather interesting. (Dickens) You consider yourself an impressive person, eh? (Shaw)

Note 2: After verbs of mental activity and declaring the Perfect Infinitive can also be used.

e. g. The President announced the army forces to have got ready for military intrusion into Iraq. (The news) The doctor found his heart to have stopped two hours before. (Hardy)

Note 3: After the verb to know the infinitive usually requires the particle to, although with the perfect form of this verb, it is sometimes omitted, - probably,

under the influence of its synonym to see.

e.g.: I know him to be an honest person.

I've known him do (to do) such things = I've seen him do so.

3). verbs and expressions of feeling and emotion: like, dislike, love, hate, cannot bear, etc.

e. g. Would you like me to leave college and go into a dramatic school? He likes everyone to obey him without question and he hates any of us to contradict him.

4). causative verbs and verbs of order and permission: order, let, allow, suffer, have, make, cause, get, hаvе (заставлятъ, сказать, чтобы)

Note 1: Mind the bare infinitive after the verbs to make, to let, to have

 

e.g.: Welcome the task that makes you go beyond yourself.(F.McGee)

June made her lover take her on the top of the bus, saying she Wanted air, and, there sat silent, with her face to the breeze. (Galsworthy).

 

But if these verbs are in passive, the infinitive is used with the particle to.

e.g.: I was made to be awake all night and listen to the darkness of the garden.

Note 2: To have denotes permission only in negative sentences.

e.g.: " If 1 can clear it up 1 don't have my name mentioned",

said Holmes. '•

Note 3: After the verbs to order, to allow the Infinitive in the Complex object Construction is passive; with the infinitive in the Active form the Complex Object is broken

 

e.g.: He ordered the boy to be led to his room.

He allowed the papers to be kept till tomorrow.
But: He ordered the boy to get out.

Such sentences carry two simple objects.

This restriction does not apply to suffer and have.

 

 

Note 4: The verb suffer followed by the Complex Object Construction denotes "to allow unwilling heart" (неохотно разрешить, позволить, скрепя сердце) - in affirmative sentences.

e.g. She suffered Mr. Franklin to lead her back into the room. (Collins) - Она позволила мистеру Франклину отвести себя обратно в комнату. In negative sentences suffer denotes "have" (допускать).

e. g. Miss Jemima could not suffer Becky to leave the Academy without a present. - Мисс Джемайма не могла допустить, чтобы Бекки уехала из пансиона без подарка. Не didn't suffer questions to be asked.

5) verbs of wish and intention: want, wish, desire, mean, intend,
choose(=want), etc.

e. g. I desired him to display curiosity but Sir Stanford Nye was not going to display curiosity.

Part of me wished her to continue her train of thoughts.

I've always thought a hotel ought to offer optional small animals...

I mean a cat to sleep on your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in.

You ever notice how hotel room feels so lifeless? (Anne Tyler)

I don't choose you to go by yourself to a hotel. (Collins)

I want these Christmas gifts to be distributed among children.

6) verbs with prepositions for, on, upon: depend on, rely on(upon),wait for, long for, hope for.

e. g.: Can you rely upon him to make it all in time?

I rely upon you not to go over the opposition. (Dickens)

I hope for you to ring me up tomorrow.
