6. Complex parts of the sentence
In both contrasted languages parts of the sentence are of similar types. But one of the peculiarities of the English syntax is the existence of the so called "complex" parts of the sentence. Each part of the modern English sentence can be simple or complex. The simple part of the sentence can be expressed not only by a separate word but also by a group of words that make up the lexical and grammatical unity. Unlike this the complex part of the sentence (e.g., the Complex Subject, the Complex Object) are always the combination of two parts

of the sentence, one of which points towards the person or the object, and the second - towards the action preformed by this person or object. Thus two members of the sentence that enter this complex are in predicate relations. Compare: / hate him to go away. Our arrival having been noted, we had a lot of guests.
The predicate relation between the elements of such a complex part of the sentence is not formed in a grammatical way; from the morphological point of view they do not create the word combination but enter into word combination with the part of the sentence on which they together depend.
Most frequently complex parts of the English sentence are expressed by predicative word combinations with non-finite parts of speech, performing the syntactic function of the secondary predicate. According to its meaning such a complex part of the sentence can be compared with a subordinate sentence or a simple sentence. In Ukrainian there are no similar complex parts of the sentence and similar relations are rendered with the help of subordinate sentences.
Thus, the mentioned complex parts of the English sentence are usually expressed with the help of predicative word groups, known in traditional grammars as:
1) Complex Object (with the Infinitive, Participle I, Participle
II, Gerund, non-Verbal), e.g.:
She wants him to study better.
2) Complex Subject (with the Infinitive, Participle I, Participle
II, non-Verbal), e.g.:
The delegation was reported to have already arrived.
3) For-to-Infinitive Construction, e.g.:
For you to do this is of the utmost importance.
4) Absolute Constructions/Prepositional Constructions (with
