I want that Mark sets a good example to his brother

[towcats1]

Hello
I'm a little bit confused about this sentence - "I want that Mark sets a good example to his brother."
It seems to be - I want Mark to set a good example to his brother.
Is it possible to use the subordinate clause ?

Where did you see the version with "I want that ..."? Don't forget that we need the source and author of anything you didn't write yourself.

I've never heard but often seen in Russian textbooks. This example is only one of many. "The doctor didn't want that the patient got ill again". And so on.

The Passive in this textbook - "I saw a policeman arrest the man." The passive -"I saw the man arrested." It seems to me - I saw the man to be arrested.

I don't think that text book is doing you any good. We wouldn't use the example sentence you quoted. We'd say "The doctor didn't want the patient to get ill again".

The passive example in this textbook is "I saw a policeman arrest the man" The passive - > "I saw the man arrested." It seems to me that it means "I saw the man to be arrested."

The example is unnatural. Not only that, it loses the information about who was arresting the man.

Active: I saw a policeman arrest the man.
Passive: I saw the man being arrested by a policeman.

"I saw the man to be arrested" is not grammatical.

Use this one.

I spend a fair amount of time teaching students to use want somebody to do something and not to use want that + clause. Many learners use the latter structure because it more or less translates from the first language. I'll stop short of saying that it's ungrammatical, but I will say you should discourage your learners from using it.
