In my coursebook, there is
: "As its name suggests, formalistic criticism has for its sole object the discovery and explanation of form in the literary work."
I understand the following is the same as
: 'As its name suggests, formalistic criticism has the discovery and explanation of form in the literary work for its sole object.
Is inserting prepositional phrase between a verb and its object confined to verb have and its object? Or is it applicable to other transitive verbs such as paint, tint, play, sing and so forth?
