I'm a little comfused about complement and adverbial.
In the sentence: I painted the door green, "green" is a complement, or an object complement to be exact.
In sentences like: He left the city, disappointed.
He died young.
Are "disappointed" and "young" subject complements (because they are both used to further describe "He"), or is it an adverbial like the word "interested" in the following sentence: Greatly interested, he asked me how to use the device?
