САМОСТОЯТЕЛЬНЫЙ ИНФИНИТИВНЫЙ ОБОРОТ
ABSOLUTE INFINITIVE CONSTRUCTION
В английском языке встречается оборот, состоящий из существительного в общем падеже и инфинитива.
Существительное в таком обороте обозначает лицо или предмет, совершающий действие, выраженное инфини-
тивом, или подвергающийся этому действию. Этот оборот носит название "самостоятельного инфинитивного
оборота" (Absolute Infinitive Construction). Такой оборот стоит в конце предложения и отделен запятой. Он
