Him
Hi.
"Joe Allen gives the ball away to Fraizer Campbell with a sloppy pass and when the ball is pulled back to Jordon Mutch on the edge the blockers are too slow to prevent him curling a precise shot into the bottom corner." [bbc]prevent him curling: him is object to prevent or a subject of curling." [From the BBC website.]
Is "him curling" the object of the verb "prevent" or is "him" the indirect object and "curling" a direct one?
Is "him" a subject of the verbal "curling"?
Thank you.
