syntactic analysis - Is there an object in this sentence?



You need to practise your proofreading.



In this sentence, "you" is the subject and "need" is the verb. But is there an object? At the moment I am guessing that there isn't and that to practise your proofreading is just a phrase.


I asked someone else and they too did not think there was an object.
