Глаголы appear, seem, prove, happen, turn out в конструкции со сложным подлежащим

↑ Complex subject

1) Глаголы appear - выглядеть, seem - казаться, prove - оказываться, happen - случаться, turn out - оказываться употребляются в конструкции со сложным подлежащим (см. Complex subject). Первая часть сложного подлежащего представляет собой существительное или местоимение в общем падеже, а вторая — инфинитив с частицей to (To-infinitive).

He seems to know French well (= It seems that he knows French well) — Кажется, он хорошо знает французский.

They all turned out to be good fighters (=It turned out that they all were good fighters) — Все они оказались хорошими бойцами.

He proved (to be) smart — Он оказался умным.

He proved (to be) a good engineer — Он оказался хорошим инженером.

The test turned out (to be) negative — Тест показал отрицательный результат.

б) Если после глаголов prove, turn out следует существительное без прилагательного, то глагол be не может быть опущен.

He proved to be a biologist — Он оказался биологом.

4) После глаголов seem и appear может идти существительное, прилагательное или существительное с прилагательным без глагола-связки be. В этом случае глаголы seem и appear обычно переводятся на русский язык с помощью глагола выглядеть или сочетания производить впечатление.

She seems tired — Она выглядит усталой.

He seemed a fool — Он производил впечатление дурака.

He appeared a happy man — Он производил впечатление счастливого человека.

5) Глаголы appear, seem, prove, happen могут употребляться в предложениях со словами it и there в функции формального подлежащего (см. Empty subject: "it" and "there")

There seems to be only one chance of tracing him — Как кажется, есть только один способ выследить его.
