A compound object complement is a grammatical structure that consists of two or more words or phrases that jointly function as the complement of a direct object in a sentence. It provides additional information or describes the direct object in more detail.
For example, in the sentence "I consider him a friend and a mentor," the compound object complement is "a friend and a mentor." It further describes the direct object "him" and indicates that the speaker considers him both a friend and a mentor.
Compound object complements can include multiple nouns, adjectives, or phrases connected by coordinating conjunctions such as "and" or "or." They help to expand and clarify the meaning of the direct object in a sentence.
