D.动词不定式作宾语补足语
不定式可以在“主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”句型中充当宾语补足语。在这一句型中,宾语是动词不定式的逻辑主语。

the car stop.
n The car was seen to stop.我们看见这辆车停了下来。
n
2.在使役动词后作宾语补足语,不定式不带to。
这类动词有:make,
let, have等。转为被动语态时,其后通常都用带to的不定式(have没有被动语态)。
有些动词跟不定式作宾语补足语时省去了to,这些动词有:
一感二听三让四观看。
一感:feel 二听:hear,listen
to 三让:let,have,make 四观看:observe,see,watch.,look
at
