A part of sentence that gives more information about the subject, or, in some other structures, about the object.<\/p>\n
Some clauses consist of a subject, the verb be, and an expression that describes the subject.<\/p>\n
She was the first person to arrive.
\nHe looked tired.
\nShe is a journalist.
\nThey were very excited.
\nThe milk turned sour.<\/p>\n
The expression that describes the subject in clauses like these is often called a subject complement. Subject complements can follow not only be, but also other copular verbs like look, seem, turn and become.<\/p>\n
An object complement is a phrase which follows a direct object and either modifies that object or denotes something identical to it.<\/p>\n
They elected him their leader.
\nThe jury found him guilty.
\nHe called me a liar.
\nGod called the light day.
\nYou make me nervous.<\/p>\n
Words and expressions that complete the meaning of a noun, verb, preposition or adjective are also called complements.<\/p>\n
I am interested in learning to fly.
\nShe is fond of ice cream.
\nThe cat is on the roof.
\nLet us get a bottle of wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
