Accusative and infinitive information


In grammar, accusative and infinitive (also Accusativus cum infinitivo or accusative plus infinitive, frequently abbreviated ACI or A+I) is the name for a syntactic construction first described in Latin and Greek, also found in various forms in other languages such as English and Dutch.[1] In this construction, the subject of a subordinate clause is put in the accusative or objective case and the verb appears in the infinitive form.
