Pronouns that follow any linking verb in a statement are known as subject complements. Adjectives and nouns with the same functionality are also categorized under the same class.
Below is the list of subject and object pronouns. Remember, a subject complement offers more explanation in regards to the subject, so we must employ the subject figure of the pronoun- understanding that it might sound strange.
Subject pronouns:
I, we, you, he, it, they, who, she.
Object pronouns:
her, it, them, whom, me, us, you, him.
The syntax for utilization of the subject complement is mentioned beneath:
"Subject + <em>Linking Verb</em> +<u> Subject Complement .</u>"
Check out the three examples to fix any issue regarding the use, and compare the examples to learn how the syntax is applied in each sentence.

<em>Note</em>: Pronoun after the linking verb is underlined.
