3.162 Describing the object of a verb: object complements

Some transitive verbs can have a complement after their object. This complement describes the object, and is often called the object complement.

• Willie's jokes made her uneasy.
• I find the British legal system extremely complicated.

Some of these verbs are used to say that someone or something is changed or given a new job. Others are used to indicate a person's opinion of someone or something.

For information on how to use these verbs in the passive, see paragraph 10.21.
