One More Clause Pattern• English is fond of using a noun or pronoun connected
with an infinitive as the object of a sentence.– I want you to go home.– I told Mary to wash the dishes.
• Note that the noun or pronoun is the doer of the action (you go home; Mary washes).
• Contrast this:– I learned Latin to read Caesar.
• Here “Latin” will not do the reading.

One More Clause Pattern
• This use of a noun or pronoun plus an infinitive is common in English, but there is no standard way to refer to it.
• We’ll call it pattern G:Subject-Transitive Verb-Actor-Infinitive
S-TV-A-I
![Page 12: Word Roots: Classics 30](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070410/5681462f550346895db33d9b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is the pattern of These Clauses?
• I am sad.
• Bill will give Mary a hug.
• Tom, my friend, will prove you wrong.
• I wanted you to eat the bananas.
• I wanted bananas to make a smoothie.
• You’ll get the idea.
• He got awfully annoying.

A Variant on S-TV-A-I
• Sometimes infinitives in this pattern do not have the word “to.”
• This happens after verbs of sensation, and the verbs “make,” “have,” “let,” “help” and some others.– He made me go. – I heard him cry. – I felt it move! – John let us come along.
