Hello i try to find information about the verbs
with this structure Subject + verb + noun/pronoun + gerund.
I know that there are verbs followed by noun/pronoun and infinitive such as need want allow forbid force invite
for example I allow somebody to eat my food
i want him to help me.
i need people to explane the information to me .
can you tell me about the other verbs that can take another verb after noun/pronoun.
i do not mean all the verbs which have structure subject +verb + noun/pronoun+ infinitive.
what about the other which can take another verb after the pronoun.
must this verb be gerund.
For example I stopped him crying .
I spend alot of time travelling.
Can you send me a list of these verbs ?

Are you talking about Complex Catenative Construction?

Re: About verbs followed by noun/pronoun.
Yes i think i mean this group of the verbs
verb + object + -ing .
I saw the list of the verbs with this construction .
If all of these verbs can be used in this way
can i say I dislike people talking too much.
I Forgive him making mistakes.
I tolerate him being rude.

Re: About verbs followed by noun/pronoun.
I don’t know many pages with those examples. Most sites describe the simple catenative construction (he likes driving fast) and few sites even recognize the complex catenative construction (she hates him driving fast), though Oxford and Cambridge do. See the books referenced at https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/ver ... omplex.php.
