Complex Object (Сложное дополнение)

Сложное дополнение представляет собой сочетание существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже с глаголом в форме инфинитива. На русский язык сложное дополнение переводится дополнительным придаточным предложением чаще всего с союзом «что» или «чтобы», в котором существительное или местоимение является подлежащим, а неопределенная форма глагола переводится глаголом-сказуемым в личной форме.

 

I want my son to become a lawyer.

Я хочу, чтобы мой сын стал юристом.

I would like him to translate this article.

Я хотел бы, чтобы он перевел эту статью.

 

Сложное дополнение часто употребляется после глаголов, выражающих желание, предположение или восприятие органами чувств:

to want	- хотеть
to wish	- желать
to see	- видеть
to hear	- слышать
to feel	- чувствовать
to expect	- ожидать
to know	- знать
to observe	- наблюдать
to think	- думать
to believe	- верить, полагать
to consider	- считать
to suppose	- полагать
to regard	- считать
to watch	- наблюдать

 

 

Основными глаголами восприятия являются to see в значении «видеть» и to hear в значении «слышать». После этих глаголов употребляется сложное дополнение, которое может состоять из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже + Причастие I

I saw him running. Я видел, как он бежал.

I heard her speaking on the phone. Я слышал, как она разговаривает по телефону.

 

Сложное дополнение после глаголов этой группы может также состоять из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже + инфинитив без частицы “to”.
