A friend and I have a disagreement regarding the function of an infinitive in the sentence that follows:
I want her to be innocent.
I say that it is an infinitive clause and is the object of the verb. He says that it is an infinitive that serves as an object compliment. I want someone to confirm that I am right, or I want someone to show me that I am wrong.
Thank you.
