Hello
What is the grammar function of the infinitive or the infinitive phrase in the following sentence ?
I seem to have made foolish friendships ever since.
to have made = perfect infinitive
I know that the verb ( seem ) is always an intransitive verb, so ..
in the above sentence the infinitive phrase ( to have made friendships) is a nominative here and likely is a subject complement.
Please can anyone support and tell whether my analysis is correct or wrong?
Thank you in advance.
