====== Complex Subject ======

**Вопросы:** \\
**1.** Не ясно, почему при трансформации используем Perfect Infinitive? Какова семантика такой трансформации?\\
С перфектными tenses еще понятно, но как быть с simple/continuous?

Past simple\\
It happened that they **met** that very day. -> They happened **to have met** that very day.\\
It seems that he **didn't know** the subject well. -> He seems not **to have known** the subject well.\\

Past continuous \\
It is sure that they **were coming** to Moscow. -> They are sure **to have been coming** to Moscow.

Past Perfect \\
It was reported that the ship **hadn't arrived** in Odessa yet. -> The ship was reported **not to have arrived** in Odessa yet.

Present Perfect \\
It is reported that the delegation **has left** London.-> The delegation is reported **to have left** London.

Future Perfect \\
Betsy expects it that she **will have finished** the job in one month -> Betsy expects **to have finished** the job in one month. 

It seems to me, that трансформация в Perfect Infinitive не происходит в случае Present/Future Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple c глаголами состояния (в том числе Passive Voice).  

**2.** Трансформация сослагательного высказывания \\
Was it really expected that the members of the community would come to an agreement? \\
Were the members of the community really expected to come to an agreement? \\
Я правильно понимаю, что сослагательность уходит во вспомогательное слово expected?\\

**3.** Так точно говорят? "Earth is known round" \\
