Object complement

Hi.

He flung the door open.

Is the underlined part a complement to door?
  

Top answer

Is the underlined part a complement to door? I presume that "open" is to be underlined. If so, it's an adjective functioning as a postmodifier of "the door".

Yes, but if you want to look very intelligent you can call it an object-oriented secondary predicate.
