	Objects and Complements
		An indirect object (which, like a direct object, is always a noun or pronoun) is, in a sense, the recipient of the direct object.
		An object complement is similar to a subject complement, except that (obviously) it modifies an object rather than a subject.
		In this case, the noun "driver" is the direct object of the verb "consider," but the adjective "tired" is still acting as its complement.

	Grammar of English -- Chapter 4
		Passivization is a way to distinguish between objects (both direct and indirect) on the one hand and subject predicates, object predicates, and adverbials on the other, as we'll see in the next chapter.
		Indirect objects can be passivized as well, and in a sentence with both a direct and indirect object, it is the indirect object that becomes the subject.
		However, to show that both the direct and indirect object in (37) are objects, I have drawn them as sisters to the V: There are ways of expressing this in a non-flat/hierarchical structure but they are complicated and still controversial.
