Link transitive patterns (i.e. with the clause structure SVOPo)
These generally have a noun phrase as their object, but there are a number of differ- ent elements that can function as the object predicative, depending on the verb: an adjective phrase: ❏ We painted it red. a noun phrase: ❏ They elected him President. a ❏ to infinitive clause: They forced him to leave. a bare infinitive clause: ❏ I saw her leave the room. Typical verbs: have, let, make, feel, hear, see, watch, help an ❏ -ing participle clause: I heard someone shouting. Typical verbs: feel, hear, notice, see, smell, watch, catch, discover, find, have an ❏ -ed participle clause: f ) I got the watch repaired. Typical verbs: get, have, want, need, like, see, hear, watch It is usual to include cases with an object and obligatory adverbial (i.e. SVOA) in this category: I put it in the cupboard. Note how verbs of perception have a choice between infinitive and -ing participle, e.g.: I saw him run/running. with a difference in meaning (a complete action vs an activity in progress).
