​complex object

​Complex Object - ...

​Это конструкция, состоящая из существительного в общем падеже (noun in a common case) или местоимения в объектном падеже (pronoun in an objective case) и инфинитива. Напомним, как выглядят местоимения в объектном падеже:

​I – me

you – you

he – him

she – her

it – it

we – us

they – them

​Examples

​We noticed the woman enter the house through the back door. — Мы заметили, как женщина вошла через заднюю дверь.

I saw them walk along the road. — Я видел, как они шли по дороге.​

​I did not hear her say this because she spoke in a soft voice. — Я не слышал, как она это сказала, потому что она говорила тихо.

Tr

​Complex object употребляется с глаголами:

1. Выражающими физическое восприятие и ощущение to see – видеть, to watch – смотреть, to notice – замечать, to observe – наблюдать, to feel – чувствовать, to hear – слышать и другие.

   После этих глаголов мы ставим инфинитив без частицы to.

   Example:

   I have never heard you sing. – Я никогда не слышал, чтобы ты пел.

   We saw the postman slip a thick envelope into the box. – Мы видели, как почтальон опустил в почтовый ящик толстый конверт.​

T

​​С глаголами восприятия помимо инфинитива может употребляться и причастие настоящего времени (Participle I). Если мы в complex object в английском языке применяем инфинитив, мы подчеркиваем однократность совершаемого действия или завершенность действия, если же берем причастие, то демонстрируем процесс протекания действия.

​

Examples:

I saw her run into the house. – Я видела, как она забежала в дом.

I saw her running along the road. – Я видела, как она бежала по дороге.

​​2. Выражающими побуждение, принуждение: (to let – позволять, to make – заставлять, to have – распорядиться). Инфинитив также без to.

​

Examples:

You can’t make me do such things. – Ты не можешь заставить меня сделать это.

Never let him go. – Никогда не отпускай его.

They had the man do what they wanted. – Они заставили этого человека сделать то, что они хотели.

T

​3. Выражающими желание и потребность (to want – хотеть, to wish / to desire – желать, to like – нравиться, should / would like – хотел бы).

​

​Examples:

He wanted his students to note the colours of animals. – Он хотел, чтобы его студенты отметили окрас животных. The inspector would like you to explain everything to him. – Инспектор хотел бы, чтобы вы все ему объяснили.
