How to parse. ...

104 APPOSITIONAL [Par. I49. used Subjectively, they may be called the Subiective Supplement of the Verb.' On the other hand, in(6) " They made, appointed, created him general." (7) "We thought, deemed, supposed, believed, called, named, him a rascal." — since the identity is here between the Object "him" and the "rascal" or "general," we may call " rascal " and " general " Objective Supplements of the Verb.' I49 Adjectives are sometimes thus used as Supplements: (1) " We thought her foolish." (2) " I painted my house white." Here "thought-foolish" may be regarded as a Compound Verb. Somewhat different is the Participial use of Adjectives in(1) "They found the man dead." (2) "I bought the house new." (3) "I ate my dinner cold."I Caution. Distinguish carefully between:1. The Complementary Infinitive, which is the Complement of a Nouri or Pronoun (See Par. 97). 3. The Supplement, which is the Supplement of a Verb. t The term " Supplement," and not Complement, is used,for fear of confusion between the Supplement of the Verb, and the Complement of the Subject or Object mentioned in Par. 97.
