Adjunct - complement or modifier
A basic sentence must contain a subject and a predicate to be complete.
is "to be complete" an optional adjunct ( extra infomation) which modifies the whole sentence or a complement(something can't be dropped in the clause) here?
I am slightly confused with it's function and whether it's a complement or a just modifier?
