What is the difference between appositive clauses and object complements?

Are you a little sister? I read your file. I didn't know you were so young that you sorted it out like this. I don't know if you can understand. Come on!

Let me give you an example and tell you the following two appositive clauses.

1. 1. Nouns are appositive.

My child's teacher, Mr. Wang, will visit us on Tuesday. My child's teacher, Mr. Wang, will come to see us on Tuesday.

2. Phrases used as appositives

I am the oldest girl in my family, and I always have to take care of other children. As the oldest girl in my family, I have to take care of other children in my family.

In these two sentences, "my child's teacher" and "the oldest girl in the family" are appositive, and their functions are equivalent to nouns. Complement or further explain the previous nouns, and their relationship is appositive.

Object complement clause is a sentence.

First, many verbs can form a sentence with an object +to do…, and the infinitive in the sentence is used as the object complement; The negative form is "verb+object+don't do ……". For example:

My boss asked me to type two letters.

Analysis: "My boss" is the subject, "tell" is the predicate, "I" is the object, and the underlined part is the object complement. Please look at the following sentence.

They forbade her to leave the country.

Please remind me not to be late for the meeting.

Within the scope of high school, it is suitable for the structure of "verb+object+(not) doing ……". The infinitive verbs used as object complements are: suggest, allow, ask, beg, cause, guide, take risks, expect, prohibit, force, invite, command, allow, insist, remind, and then.

Secondly, some verbs can form a sentence with "object +to be…", and the infinitive in the sentence is used as the object complement. For example:

I think he is the best candidate.

Analysis: "I" is the subject, "consideration" is the predicate, "he" is the object, and the underlined part is the object complement. Please look at the following sentence.

I know he is a liar.

I guess he is not at home.

High school is suitable for the structure of "verb+object +to be…". The infinitive verbs used as object complements are: consider, declare, find, feel, find, support, etc.

Third, some verbs (sensory verbs and causative verbs) can form sentences without to and infinitives, and infinitives in sentences can be used as object complements. For example:

He saw her enter the room.

Analysis: "He" is the subject, "Seeing" is the predicate, "She" is the object, and the underlined part is the object complement. Please look at the following sentences.

She won't let me do it.

I heard her lock the door.

We watched the children play games.

In high school, it is suitable for the structure of "verb+object +do…". The infinitive verbs used as object complements are: feel, have, hear, let, make, notice, observe, see, watch and so on. There are two other phrases: listen and look.

Note: When this kind of sentence becomes passive, the infinitive is preceded by to. Please look at the following sentences, in which the underlined part is used as the object complement. For example:

A child was seen entering the building.

She is often heard to sing this song.

Fourth, help can be added to the infinitive or not (Americans don't add much), but it should be added in the passive structure. For example:

Let me help you push the cart.

Analysis: "I" is the subject, "will help" is the predicate, "you" is the object, and the underlined part is the object complement.

The passive voice of the previous sentence is: You will be helped to push the cart.

5. Some "verb+preposition" structures can also form sentences with infinitives, and infinitives in sentences are used as object complements. For example:

He called me over.

Analysis: "He" is the subject, "Shout" is the predicate, "Dao" is the preposition, "I" is the object, and the underlined part is the object complement. Please look at the following sentences. The sentence structure is "verb+preposition+object +to do……", and the underlined part is infinitive, which is the complement of the object.

I believe you will do it.

I'm counting on you to help me out.

High school is suitable for the structure of "verb+preposition+object +to do…". The infinitive verbs used as object complements are: should to sb. Do sth, visit sb. Do, count on sb. Do, depend on sb. Do sth, wait for sb. Do it, and so on.

6. As the infinitive of the object complement, the action indicated occurs before the situation indicated by the predicate, so the perfect form is needed:

As we all know, he used to work for the International Olympic Committee.

Analysis: "he" is the subject, "known" is the predicate, and the passive voice is used. According to the meaning of the sentence, "working for the International Olympic Committee" takes place in the front and "everyone knows" takes place in the back. So the infinitive part is the perfect form, and the object is the complement in the sentence. Please look at the following sentence.

It is believed that they have discussed the problem.

An infinitive used as an object complement indicates that an ongoing action needs a progressive form:

It is believed that he lives in Mexico.

Analysis: Passive voice is used in sentences with "he" as the subject and "isbelieved" as the predicate. Because the sentence expresses what is happening in the subject now, it uses the infinitive progressive aspect, and the underlined part of the sentence is used as the object complement. Please look at the following sentences.

It is reported that thousands of people work in concentration camps.

People think he is hiding in the Woods.

Sometimes infinitives as object complements can also be used in the perfect continuous tense. For example:

It is said that she has been doing this job for twenty years.

Eight, infinitive as the passive form of object complement:

He doesn't want her son to be taken away.

Analysis: In the sentence, "she" is the subject, "don't want" is the predicate and "her son" is the object. Because "her son" and "take away" are passive, the passive form is used, and the underlined part of the sentence is used as the object complement. Please look at the following sentences.

I want to redecorate this room.

He doesn't want this problem to be mentioned in the letter.

You need to understand the usage of these two words separately, and you will understand. I believe you. If you don't understand them, you can keep asking.
