  5. Biology Term II • pseudopod • {pseudo} = false, imitation • {pod} = foot • A pseudopod is protusion of cytoplasm that usually serves for locomotion or apprehension. • Compare: • pseudopodium (= pseudopod)

  10. One More Clause Pattern • English is fond of using a noun or pronoun connected with an infinitive as the object of a sentence. • I want you to go home. • I told Mary to wash the dishes. • Note that the noun or pronoun is the doer of the action (you go home; Mary washes). • Contrast this: • I learned Latin to read Caesar. • Here “Latin” will not do the reading.

  11. One More Clause Pattern • This use of a noun or pronoun plus an infinitive is common in English, but there is no standard way to refer to it. • We’ll call it pattern G: Subject-Transitive Verb-Actor-Infinitive S-TV-A-I

  12. What is the pattern of These Clauses? • I am sad. • Bill will give Mary a hug. • Tom, my friend, will prove you wrong. • I wanted you to eat the bananas. • I wanted bananas to make a smoothie. • You’ll get the idea. • He got awfully annoying.

  13. A Variant on S-TV-A-I • Sometimes infinitives in this pattern do not have the word “to.” • This happens after verbs of sensation, and the verbs “make,” “have,” “let,” “help” and some others. • He made me go. • I heard him cry. • I felt it move! • John let us come along.
