What is a subjective complement?
Answers
Answer:
In grammar, a subject complement or predicative of the subject is a predicative expression that follows a linking verb and that complements the subject of the sentence by either renaming it or describing it. It completes the meaning of the subject.
Explanation:
predicative complement can be either a subject complement or an object complement.A predicate nominative does not determine the verb. When there is a difference between the number, the verb agrees with the subject. The subject complement is bold in the following examples:
The lake was a tranquil pool. – Predicative nominal as subject complement
Here, was is a linking verb (an inflected form of be) that equates the predicate nominative phrase a tranquil pool, with the head noun, pool, to the subject, the lake (with head noun lake).
The lake is tranquil. – Predicative adjective as subject complement
In this example tranquil is a predicative adjective linked through the verb is (another inflected form of be) to the subject the lake.[4]
An example in which the subject complement is a dependent clause is:
That is what my point is. – Predicative clause as subject complement
