VERB + INFINITIVE with subject
Sound symbols

We have already seen that many verbs are followed by simple infinitives, indicating that the subject of the characteristic verb is also the subject of the infinitive. If the infinitive has a different subject, it is expressed by a noun or an objective-case pronoun just before the infinitive. A number of characteristic verbs can be used in this pattern, most of them having to do with one person’s desiring or affecting the action of another.

I like him to tell me stories.

They forced us to reveal the hiding place.

He expects us to turn in our homework tomorrow.

The regulations require me to wear this uniform.

I asked them not to make any noise.

The tickets entitled us to sit in the fifth row.

I told her to return the books promptly.

Other verbs used in this pattern are these:

command   move (= influence) urge

direct    order   want

enable   persuade  wish

get (= induce)  prefer   would like

instruct   teach

When promise is followed by a noun and an infinitive, the noun is not the subject of the infinitive, but the indirect object of promise; the actor of the infinitive is the same as the subject of promise.

James promised me to arrive on time. (James made the promise to me that he, James, would arrive on time.)
