Ministers should also look at creating greater certainly in the rental environment , which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.

请教曹老师,这里of 后面的registered providers to fund new developments from revenues. 应该是of的复合宾语吗?由于我感觉of后面的registered providers 是后面动词不定式to fund的逻辑宾语。假如不是,又该怎么样讲解这个of+n 和 to do 不定式呢? 这两个分别是做ability的定语吗?
感谢曹老师!
用简单的例子说明。your ability to solve the problem. 物主代词your作为限定词限定ability,表示主谓关系(you have the ability)。不定式为ability的定语。假如不需要属格的物主限定词表示这种主谓关系,也可以用of属格表示主谓关系。比如:Your friend's ability to solve the problem = the ability of your friend to solve the problem. 非常显然,of your friend 语法上是名词ability的后置定语,语义上表示的是主谓关系(your friend has the ability), to do不定式仍然是ability的定语,而不是your friend的定语。因此介词of 后并非复合宾语结构,of介词短语和不定式分别作ability的定语。
