Инфинитив в функции второго дополнения. После некоторых глаголов в английском следуют два прямых дополнения; одно из них выражается существительным или местоимением, второе — инфинитивом. Чаще всего такие конструкции переводятся придаточным дополнительным предложением с союзами «что», «чтобы».

Два прямых дополнения обычно принимают следующие глаголы:

to order — приказывать

²² Nicae — Никея, город.

to make to cause to force to induce to bring to compel to get to have to lead to let

заставлять, способствовать (тому, чтобы...), побуждать, делать так, чтобы...

to allow — позволять

to enable — давать возможность

Примечание 1. Инфинитив после глаголов to make и to have употребляется без частицы to:

We made Mm return.

Если глагол to make употребляется в страдательном залоге, то после него инфинитив употребляется с частицей to:

Не was made to return.
