This question has been bothering me for a while. It came up when I was reading Chapter 16 of "A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language."
How to explain the grammatical structure of the following four sentences?
"We knew him to be a spy."
"I saw her leave the room."
"I heard someone shouting."
"I got the watch repaired."
What category do the four non-finite clauses in boldface fall into? They do not seem to fall into any of relative, nominal, comparative and adverbial clauses.
