Exercise 2

3. On that day, Francis became a criminal.

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).
