'like / want + Object + to-infinitive' या रचनेचे Passive रूपांतर:

1. इंग्रजीत जेव्हा like, love, want, wish यांसारख्या इच्छादर्शक क्रियापदानंतर `Object + to-infinitive` अशी रचना येते, तेव्हा मुख्य क्रियापद (likes) Active स्वरूपातच राहते, आणि त्यापुढील Infinitive चे रूपांतर Passive Infinitive मध्ये केले जाते.
2. प्रमाणित रचना (Template):
• Active: `Subject + like/want + Object + to + V1`
• Passive: `Subject + like/want + to be + Past Participle (V3) (+ by + Agent)`
3. वाक्यातील घटक:
• कर्ता: 'He'
• मुख्य क्रियापद: 'likes'
• Infinitive: 'to praise' $\rightarrow$ Passive Infinitive: 'to be praised'
• Agent: 'by people'
4. सूत्रात मांडणी:

`He + likes + to be praised + by people.`

• अचूक Passive वाक्य: "He likes to be praised by people." (पर्याय १)
5. इतर पर्याय:
• पर्याय २: 'People liked him to praise' (अर्थ आणि काळ बदलला आहे).
• पर्याय ३: 'He is liked by people to praise' (मुख्य क्रियापद पैसिव्ह करून अर्थाचा अनर्थ केला आहे).
• पर्याय ४: 'People are praised by him' (उलटा अर्थ).

Grammatical Analysis & Transformation Rules:

Given Active Voice sentence: *"He likes people to praise him."*

Passive Transformation of Verbs of Volition / Liking with Infinitive Complements:

1. With verbs of wishing, wanting, or liking (e.g., *like, want, wish, desire*) followed by an object and an infinitive (`to + V1`), the main finite verb (*likes*) is NOT passivized. Instead, the dependent infinitive clause is transformed into a Passive Infinitive (`to be + V3`).
2. Structural Formula:
• Active: `Subject + like/want + Object + to-infinitive + Pronoun/Noun`
• Passive: `Subject + like/want + to be + V3 (+ by Agent)`
3. Applying the formula:
• Subject: `He`
• Finite verb: `likes`
• Passive infinitive: `to be praised`
• Agent: `by people`
• Sentence: "He likes to be praised by people." (Option 1).
4. Analysis of distractors:
• Option 2 (*People liked him...*): Changes tense to past and alters meaning completely.
• Option 3 (*He is liked by people to praise*): Passivizes the main verb incorrectly.
• Option 4 (*People are praised by him*): Inverts the thematic roles entirely.
