I am happy to study in university. I am happy about studying in university. These seem to have about the same meaning. I am too tired to play cricket (I can't get off the couch because I am very tired). I am tired of playing cricket ( I have been playing cricket for 5 hours. It's not fun anymore and I am bored). I am tired of having played cricket ( I don't think we would use this form. having +V3 is a past gerund form. I have tired played cricket (this is incorrect grammar.)

Respected sir, there is also another structure like "Subject+have+object+first form of the verb+ing+object". For example,she had her audience listening attentively.Sir, being undisputedly the greatest grammarian of this generation, you are earnestly entreated to explain this structure.
@TeacherDanFitzАй бұрын
Yes, that's correct. It gives more of a progressive meaning by saying 'had the audience listening attentively' instead of 'had the audience listen attentively'.

Respected sir, Can the phrase 'more than sixty kelometres ' be considered to be the 'direct object '? Sir, some grammarians opine that the finite verb'travelled ' means ' cover ' or'cross', and that the phrase 'more than sixty kelometres ' has been used here as a 'Noun phrase ' acting as an Object.So they have put it into the Passive voice in the way --More than sixty kelometres were travelled by him.Sir, do please let me know your take on this.
