When causative verb is used, I think an adjective, participle, non finit clause (such as to infinitive clause) function as adverbial clause as they give additional information to the main verb. What do you think?

example)
made them happy
made him study

Answer

In causative sentences, you can add extra details about the main action using words like adjectives or verbs. For example, in phrases like "made them happy" or "made him study," "happy" and "study" show the result of the action caused by the subject. These words give more information about how the action happened or its effects, acting like adverbs to describe the main verb.

Answer

Some grammars use the term "resultative adjective."

The man painted the old fence.  [old = adjective]
The man painted the old fence red. [red = resultative adjective]

Answer

Consider the sentence "It made them happy".

"Happy" does not give information about the verb. It gives information about "them". "Them" is the direct object.  "Happy" is an adjective that modifies "them".  An adjective that modifies the object is called an "object complement".
