Verb as
Complement
A verb complement is the
arrangement of one verb as the object of another verb. This happens three ways
in English:
Verb + Gerunds
Gerund is a
word formed from a verb with added suffix -ing and serves as a noun. Although
it functions as noun but still behaves like a verb if it is in its phrase
(gerund phrase), such as: followed by direct object if gerund comes from
transitive verb or limited its meaning with adverb.
This word is
verbal, that is a word formed from the verb, but serves as another part of
speech. Other verbs are infinitive and participle. Like other verbs, it is more
common to name action (action) or state of being.

Infinitive
is the base form of a verb. In English, when we talk about the infinitive we
are usually referring to the present infinitive, which is the most common.

hope to see you again.

doctor advised him to stop smoking.
