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.
