Exercise 1

My neighbor - subject

is - present tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

uncommonly - adverbial

thrifty - subject complement (adjective)

2. The Oldsmobile was on its last legs

The Oldsmobile - subject

was - past tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

on its last legs - adverbial

3. Celia is the CEO of a large multinational corporation.

Celia - subject

the CEO of a large multinational corporation - subject complement (noun phrase)

4. The last performance of Death of a Salesman was on Friday.

The last performance of Death of a Salesman - subject

was -  past tense of the verb <em>to be </em>

on Friday - adverbial

5. The plumber will be here soon.

The plumber - subject

will be - future tense of the verb <em>to be</em>

here - adverbial

soon - adverbial

Exercise 2

1. The taxi driver seemed like a nice man.

The taxi driver - subject

seemed - linking verb (past tense)

like a nice man - subject complement (noun phrase)

2. The inside of the bakery smells delicious.

The inside of the bakery - subject

delicious - subject complement (adjective)

3. On that day, Francis became a criminal.

On that day - adverbial

Francis - subject

became - linking verb (past tense)

a criminal - subject complement (noun phrase)

4. It sounds like a good idea!

It - subject

like a good idea - subject complement (noun phrase)

5. Ms. Yeziersky became a schoolteacher.

Ms. Yeziersky - subject

became - linking verb (past tense)

a schoolteacher - subject complement (noun phrase)

In all examples, we have an equation:

subject = noun phrase (what?)

               adjective (how?)

               adverbial (when? where? how? etc.)

To define if a subject complement is a noun phrase or an adjective, we always think of the main word:

like a nice man (noun phrase because everything modifies the noun MAN)

uncommonly thrifty (<em>uncommonly</em> modifies <em>thrifty</em> so it is an adjective).
