Question
Answer
The state (the adjective) results from the action indicated by the verb. A similar meaning can be expressed with an adjective complement to the noun. (ex. He washed the car. The car is clean now)
With some verbs, an action and its resulting state can be combined into one sentence. In these example, the adjective indicating the resulting state is placed after the direct object. The adjective modifies the object (It is a post-modifier, that is placed after the word it modifies)
(ex. He washed the car clean)
Adjective - The adjective modifies the object and tells how something resulted or ended up. (ex. He washed the car clean)
With the word want (also, like, would like, prefer) the state is desired (in the future). Note that the adjective is a past participle form of the verb, which indicates desiring a service to be done. (ex. He wants the car cleaned)
With the word found, the state is experience or encountered by the person. (The item already exists in this state.) (ex. She found the car clean. She found that the car was clean)
