Question 6

Objective Complement

For an objective complement to be possible it must be accompanied by a verb that indicate making selecting or using descriminating judgement.

2. Used to rename or modify the direct object
3. Usually able to take words “to be” between themselves and the Direct Object without altering the meaning of the sentence
