Unit 55. Verb (+ object) + to ... (I want you to ... etc.)
Unit 55; Part A
|
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
| ||||||||||||
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
After 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
Make and letThese 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 ...)
