I’m a novice who realised the existence of this site today. I can’t remember what prompted me. The following picture is from Idiomatic and Syntactic English Dictionary by A.S. Hornby:

Pattern 10

Verbs marked P 10 may be followed by an object and an adverb or an adverb phrase (including adverbial infinitives meaning in order….). See also notes on the adverbial participles abive.

Examples

1. It led me to believe that there was no danger.

I’m not sure whether the blue-coloured part, ‘to believe that there was no danger’, or the adverbial complement postmodifying ‘led’ according to the dictionary. If I had not seen the pattern 10, I would suppose the infinitive phrase is an adjectival complement postmodifying’m’.

I know that the infinitive phrase is a complement, not a modifier. Is it a verb or a paraphrase? I also learnt the term “a catenative complement”. I’m not content with it. I really want to know whether an infinitive complement is used as adjectival or adverbial or nominal. Why am I doing this out of curiosity?

As you know, ‘here’ as in is an adverbial complement, not an adverbial modifier. I was told that ‘you to go’ as in is a nominal complement clause (S+V+O’) and that ‘to do it’ as in is also nominal (S+V+I,O) + D.O’. I’m not being sure of whether ‘to believe that there was no danger’ or ‘to believe that there was no danger’ is also nominal or adjectival

or adverbial which is an objective complement
