英语提问：sb.stated to have done sth. 某人声称已经做了某事.有这样的句型吗?

Tom stated to have seen the puma.
语法上没有错,但很蹩脚.
习惯说法是
Tom stated that he had seen the puma
这和原句
Tom claimed to have seen the puma.
有相同意思.
希望帮到了你,满意请点击“选为满意答案”及时采纳,但是我查了字典，state是及物动词(vt)。一般接that从句或名词，并无后接to do 的用法？这是怎么回事？是的，所以我说比较准确的表达方式是Tom stated that he had seen the puma虽然有人会明白Tom stated to have seen the puma的意思，这不是常规英语。但是及物动词(vt)后接to do 本身不就是语法错误吗，不存在蹩脚的问题哟？怎么在上面这个例子又行得通？作为英语母语者，对英语我的“包容度”比一般（从语法学英语的中国）人高，但如果我是英语老师，我会和你一样认为 stated to do 是错的。即使我也会这样说：Tom stated that he had seen the puma
