indirect object before a direct one or when there is some stylistic
                            purpose because of which secondary parts of the sentence cannot
                            be separated from the predicate (compare: She took out of her bag
                            an envelope).
                                  The English direct object reveals  such a peculiarity that  it
                            can be complex. The complex object of such a type is as a rule
                            expressed  by the predicative construction with the  infinitive,  for
                            example: I saw him go home CЯ бачив, як він пішов додому).
                            Besides,  there  are  complex  objects  expressed  by  predicative
                            constructions with the participle or the gerund, for example: We
                            watched her going away. My lady assures him of his being worth
                            no complaint from her (Ch. Dickens)

                                                   The indirect object

                                   In Ukrainian the indirect object is used in the form of any
                            indirect case either with the preposition or without it (except the
                            accusative case without the preposition, which serves to express
                            the direct object): Електростанція буде нам посилати енергію
                            по проводах.
                                   While  the  direct  object  depends  only  on  the  verb,  the
                            indirect object can be dependent also on the noun or the adjective,
                            for example: близький нам, керівник гуртка, найкращий з усіх,
                            гірший  над  усе.  Most  often  these  are  nouns  or  adjectives  that
                            have the base common with the verb, besides them these are also
                            adjectives in the comparative and superlative degrees.
                                   In English the indirect object does not differ formally from
                            the direct object: both of them are expressed by the form of the
                            common case (in pronouns — by the objective case). That is why
                            the grammatical  means of expressing the  indirect object are the
                            position  of  a  word  in  a  sentence  as  well  as  the  structural
                            completeness of a word-group. First of all, the indirect object is
                            used only in a three-member word- group, that is at the obligatory
                            presence of the direct object and it is necessarily positioned before
