s1. We decorated the tree beautifully.

s2. We decorated the tree beautiful.

Is s2 grammatically right?
I think it is right, if we regard 'beautiful' as a quasi-complement.
But I have rarely seen a sentence like s2.

Thank you in advance.

No, it's not correct.

Is a 'quasi-complement' a complement written about by someone called pseudo :-? :)
