Re: They made us translate an English paragraph. 2 clauses here? As a matter of fact, the clause is "translate an English sentence", not "us translate an English sentence" (the page Mariner linked to contains a small error).
It is an example of a non-finite clause, and in a non-finite clause, the subject is only implied. Here, the implied subject is "we". (Non-finite clauses cannot have explicit subjects because the verb is non-finite, and non-finite verbs do not have subjects.) |
