The Prepositional Infinitive Complex

Предложный инфинитивный оборот (комплекс) вводится в предложение предлогом for.

Данный оборот состоит из существительного в общем падеже или личного местоимения в объектном падеже и инфинитива.

Предложный инфинитивный оборот употребляется в различных синтаксических функциях. В предложении он может быть подлежащим, предикативом (именной частью составного именного сказуемого), дополнением, определением и обстоятельством цели или следствия.

На русский язык такая конструкция переводится при помощи неопределённой формы глагола или придаточного предложения. Например:

It’s time for us to go. – Нампораидти.

He opened the door for me to get out. – Он открыл дверь, чтобы я вышел.

For me to come to you today is impossible. – Мне невозможно сегодня к тебе прийти.

We waited for him to come. – Мы ждали, пока он придёт.

I’ll re-read the rule for you to understand it better. – Я прочитаю правило снова, чтобы вы его

лучше поняли.
