Unit 55. Verb (+ object) + to ... (I want you to ... etc.)




Unit 55; Part A

galka.jpg
want
expect  
ask
beg  
help
mean (= intend)
would like
would prefer
              
These verbs are followed by to ... (infinitive). The structure can be:

verb + to ...
or 
verb + object + to ...
    We expected to be late.
    Would you like to go now?
    He doesn't want to know.
     We expected Dan to be late.
    Would you like me to go now?
    He doesn't want anybody to know.
      
Do not say 'want that':

    Do you want me to come with you?  (not Do you want that I come)

After help you can use the infinitive with or without to. So you can say:

    Can you help me to move this table?    or   Can you help me move this table?

Unit 55; Part B

galka.jpg
tell 
remind force
encourage
teach
enable
order
warn
invite
persuade
get (= persuade, arrange for)
                                 
These verbs have the structure verb + object + to ... :

•    Can you remind me to phone Sam tomorrow?
•    Who taught you to drive?
    I didn't move the piano by myself. I got somebody to help me.
    Jim said the switch was dangerous and warned me not to touch it.


In the next example, the verb is passive
(I was warned / we were told etc.):
    I was warned not to touch the switch.

You cannot use suggest with the structure verb + object + to ... :

    Jane suggested that I should ask your advice,  (not Jane suggested me to ask)

Unit 55; Part C

galka.jpgAfter advise, recommend and allow, two structures are possible. Compare:
verb + -ing (without an object) verb + object + to ... 
    I wouldn't advise/recommend staying in that hotel.
     I wouldn't advise/recommend anybody to stay in that hotel.
    They don't allow parking in front of the building.     They don't allow people to park in front of the building. 

Study these examples with (be) allowed (passive):
 
    Parking isn't allowed in front of the building.      You aren't allowed to park in front of the building. 

Unit 55; Part D

galka.jpgMake and let
These verbs have the structure
verb + object + infinitive (without to):
    I made him promise that he wouldn't tell anybody what happened.  (not to promise)
    Hot weather makes me feel tired.  (= causes me to feel tired)
    Her parents wouldn't let her go out alone.  (= wouldn't allow her to go out)
    Let me carry your bag for you.

We say 'make somebody do'
(not to do), but the passive is '(be) made to do' (with to):
    We were made to wait for two hours.  (= Thev made us wait ...)
