Конструкция "Сложное дополнение" передается придаточным дополнительным предложением с союзами что, чтобы, как. При этом союз ставится сразу после глагола, вводящего данный оборот. Инфинитив переводится глаголом в личной норме в функции сказуемого дополнительного придаточного предложения, а стоящее перед ним существительное (или местоимение в объектном падеже) - существительным в именительном падеже (или местоимением в объектном падеже) и становится подлежащим.
