object object complement

2) An object complement always occurs in this pattern: verb + object + object complement. The object complement can often be a noun phrase or an adjective.

e.g. They made Wu Tong monitor of their class.

You must keep the room clean all the time.

3) Sometimes a to-infinitive or bare infinitive can be an object complement.

e.g. I’d like all of you to work still harder.

Will you let us play ball games after we finish our exercises?

4) An object complement can be a prepositional phrase.

e.g. If you keep the new dress in hot water, the colors will run.

5) An object complement can also be a present participle phrase or a past participle phrase.

e.g. The most exciting thing for the old man was to watch the children playing in the garden.

They told me to have my car repaired as soon as possible.

6) An object complement usually agrees with the object in number.

After that people called the boy a little hero.

2. Please go through Lost civilizations again and find as many sentences with an object complement as you can. For example,

Sven found the remains of buildings buried under the sand, together with a lot of treasures, such as coins, painted pots, silk materials, documents and wall paintings.

(remains of buildings is the object, and buried under the sand is the object complement, which gives information about the situation of the object.)

We found the ruins most interesting.

(the ruins is the object, and interesting is the object complement, which gives information about the object.)

3. Now let’s read the next excerpt from Ann's diary entry on page 48 and use proper object complements to complete it. Try to understand what these phrases in the box mean.

4. Please do C1 on page 108 in your Workbook to practise what you have learnt in this part.

Step 2: Either ... or ... and neither ... nor ...

Here we will learn how to use either ...or ... and neither …nor ... And we will practise using the two phrases in an exercise.

1) Suppose we have one ticket for the concert on Sunday; both my friends, David and Helen, want to go. So, either David or Helen can have the ticket. They quarrelled with each other over the ticket. Finally, I decided that neither David nor Helen should have the ticket. We will all stay at home on Sunday and watch the concert on TV instead.
