| Can I find a non finite clause acting as a CO? I'm very interested in grammar. I'm Chilean and I'm very happy because I could find this page! I'm studying English. Thanks Carolina Last edited by Tdol; 09-Oct-2005 at 06:48. Reason: email removed |

| Welcome. ![]() If by "CO" you mean object complement, you may want to check out this site: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawl.../complmnt.html EX: They told you to go home. object complement Object Complement Test => Insert a form of the verb BE between the direct object and the phrase in question, and if the result makes sense then the phrase in question functions as an object complement. For example: You are to go home. |

| I do not agree with that analysis please tell me if I'm wrong, but I undertand that a CO ( Object complement as we call in my university) has a direct identity relationship with the Object and in this sentence "YOU" is not the same as "TO GO HOME". I think here we have a case of two objects because somebody was affected ( told ) and something was said ( to go home) I remember analysing one sentence with a case of two objects, e.g. I advised Jim not to miss the office meeting. please, sorry by my writing mistakes! Thanks in advanced. |

| How about: "Consider it done." Or is that too dodgy? |
