Геркулесовцы терялись в догадках (Ильф и Петров 2). Toward midday the next day the rumor went around that Polykhayev had locked himself in his hall of palms with a visitor and hadn't responded to Serna Mikhailovna's knocking or the internal telephone calls for three hours.

(6.) Инфинитив образует три комплекса: Complex Object, Complex Subject и For-Complex. Complex Object соответствует русским придаточным предложениям. Complex Object состоит из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже и инфинитива. Complex Object употребляется после четырех групп глаголов: (а.) глаголов физического восприятия; (b) глаголов повеления, побуждения; (с) глаголов разрешения, запрещения; (d) глаголов желания, ожидания, умственной деятельности (см. таблицу): Types of Complex Object Типы конструкций сложных дополнений (а.) to see smb (smth) do smth; to hear smb (smth) do smth; to feel smb (smth) do smth; to notice smb (smth) do smth; to observe smb (smth) do smth; to watch smb (smth) do smth; (b) to have smb (smth) do smth; to make smb (smth) do smth; to let smb (smth) do smth; (c) to expect smb (smth) to do smth; to like smb (smth) to do smth; to mean smb (smth) to do smth; to prefer smb (smth) to do smth; to understand smb (smth) to do smth; to want smb (smth) to do smth; (d) to allow smb (smth) to do smth; to forbid smb (smth) to do smth; to order smb (smth) to do smth После глаголов групп (a.) и (b) инфинитив употребляется без частицы to: she didn't notice us come in она не заметила, как мы вошли; we watched him paint the fence мы наблюдали за тем, как он красил забор; the sound of his steps made me start звук его шагов заставил меня вздрогнуть. После глаголов групп (с) и (d) инфинитив употребляется с частицей to. Complex Subject состоит из существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в именительном падеже и инфинитива с частицей to. В русском языке комплекс соответствует придаточному предложению, а его части - безличным главным предложениям: she was seen to leave the house видели, как (что) она выходила из дома; he was said to be a good swimmer говорили, что он хороший пловец. Глаголы в главном предложении, кроме глаголов to seem, to happen, to prove, to turn out, употребляются в пассивной форме (см. таблицу): Types of Complex Subject constructions Типы конструкций сложных предложений (a.) smb (smth) is (was, will be) allowed(believed, considered, expected, heard, known, said, seen, suppose) to do smth (to be done); (b) smb (smth) happens (happened, proves, proved, seems, seemed, turns out, turned out, is certain, is likely, is not likely, is unlikely, is sure) to do smth (to be done, to have done, to be doing) Например: he didn't seem to have noticed anything unusual казалось, что он ничего необычного не заметил/не замечает; the ring proved to have been stolen оказалось, что кольцо было украдено; the dog is not likely to have been stolen собаку вряд ли украли; he is sure to come if he promised он обязательно приедет, если он обещал. For-Complex состоит из предлога for, существительного в общем падеже или местоимения в объектном падеже и инфинитива. Местоимение или имя существительное является подлежащим инфинитива: it is easier for him to phone than to write ему легче позвонить, чем написать. For-Complex может выполнять в предложении разные функции, представленные в таблице ниже: Subject - It is bad for you to smoke so much. - Вам вредно так много курить.; It will be best for her to see a doctor. - Ей лучше всего показаться врачу. Object - He arranged for us to stay here for a week. - Он договорился о том, чтобы мы здесь пробыли неделю. Attribute - There is nothing for us to do here. - Нам здесь делать нечего. Adverbial modifier of result - It is too easy for anyone to do. - Это легко сделать кому угодно. Adverbial modifier of purpose - He stood aside for me to pass. - Он посторонился, чтобы я мог пройти.
