Module 1. The infinitive
Predicative constructions with the infinitive
ОглавлениеThe Infinitive is used in three types of predicative constructions:
The Objective with the Infinitive Construction.
The Subjective with thе Infinitive Construction.
The For-to-Infinitive Construction.
In all these constructions the Infinitive denotes an action ascribed to a noun or a pronoun. Due to their semantics and because of the attached position the nominal and the verbal elements are understood as forming a complex with subject-predicate relationship [Кобрина, Корнеева и др., 2009].
I saw him cross the street.
It is for him to decide.
He appeared to be a good doctor.
