Lesson 2

Complex Subject Сложное подлежащее

Оборот «сложное подлежащее» состоит из двух компонентов: существительного в общем падеже (или местоимения в именительном падеже), расположенного перед сказуемым, и инфинитива, расположенного после сказуемого.

В предложении He is said to know Chineese He … to know – Complex Subject, но переводить нужно начинать со сказуемого, выражающего чужие мысли по поводу действия, о котором идет речь в предложении.

Complex Subject употребляется после определенных глаголов и словосочетаний, а именно:

После того, как перевели сказуемое неопределенным личным предложением или вводным предложением, переводим само Complex Subject. Его первый элемент делаем подлежащим придаточного предложения, а второй (инфинитив) – сказуемым. Полученное придаточное предложение присоединяем к главному союзом «что».

Таким образом, He is said to know Chineese переводится: Говорят, что он знает китайский.
