object complement says about object
But i want to know that object complement

Both infinitives and gerunds are useful in English. Some verbs or adjectives take either one, but others take only an infinitive or only a gerund. When either choice is correct, there is little or no difference in meaning in some cases, but profound differences in meaning in other cases. The following link will give you more information:

Object complements are usually nouns or adjectives. Nouns often rename the object; adjectives indicate a change in the object created by the action of the verb.
The citizens elected John Attorney General. (noun)
The chef cooked the steaks rare. (adjective)
