| adverbial complement |
| Definition -
An adverbial that is a necessary sentence element (i.e., if you remove it, the sentence ceases to be well-formed).
Notes: 1. As opposed to adverbial adjuncts, so called because they can be removed from well-formed sentences and the sentences remain well-formed. |

Example - Bob is in the garden (If you remove the adverbial complement in the garden, the sentence ceases to be well-formed.) |
