Объяснение:

Note that in these paraphrases, the gerunds ("reciting", "making", "staying", "explaining", "visiting", "being sent") take the place of the infinitive verbs ("to recite", "to make", "to stay", "to explain", "to visit", "to be sent"). Additionally, the "I want" or "they wanted" part of the sentence is replaced with "I insist on" or "the teacher insists on", respectively.

Answer 3

Certainly! The given model involves transforming sentences from a direct construction ("I want him to visit Kyiv") to a gerundial complex ("I insist on his visiting Kyiv"). In this construction, the possessive pronoun ("his") is used instead of the direct object ("him"), and the main verb is replaced by the gerund form ("visiting"). Let's apply this model to the provided sentences:

1. I want you to recite the poem by T. Shevchenko. - I insist on your reciting the poem by T. Shevchenko.

2. They wanted me to make a report "Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine." - They insisted on my making a report "Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine."

3. I want you to stay in Dnipropetrovsk for a long time. - I insist on your staying in Dnipropetrovsk for a long time.

4. The teacher wanted the student to explain this rule in Ukrainian. - The teacher insisted on the student's explaining this rule in Ukrainian.

5. My mother wants me to visit the Museum of Ukrainian Art. - My mother insists on my visiting the Museum of Ukrainian Art.

6. I want her to be sent to the conference in Kharkiv. - I insist on her being sent to the conference in Kharkiv.

In each case, the original sentence is transformed into a gerundial complex by replacing the direct object with a possessive pronoun and changing the main verb to its gerund form.
