This paper pilots the grammatical functions of the postverbal ‘Noun Phrase’ in the ‘verb + NP + to-infinitive’ structures in the classes of the three verbs, ‘want, believe, and persuade.’ It investigates whether the structures of the ‘postverbal complement (NP+ to-infinitive)’ properly function in English grammar. Though the prototypical structures of these three verbs seem to have the same ‘verb + NP + to-infinitive’ construction, they are grammatically and meaningfully different in terms of the functions of the ‘postverbal complements (NP + to-infinitive).’ Just as the grammatical and semantic functions of the postverbal Noun Phrases are different, so the three verbs’ structures should be handled idiosyncratically. To explore whether these postverbal complements are correctly used in a grammatical, semantical, and logical manner, this paper analyzes the use of the ‘verb + NP + to-infinitive’ structures of the three verbs employed in English textbooks.
