An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective which follows a direct object and renames it or tells what the direct object has become. It is most often used with verbs of creating or nominating such as make, name, elect, paint, call, etc.

Example: The people considered the place holy.

The word 'place' is the object and 'holy' is the object complement.

We can name the puppy Spot.

They painted their house yellow.

The role that made Marilyn a star.
