PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! WILL MARK BRAINIEST!!!

English
1 answer:

Answer: Hope This Helps!!!

Explanation:     Read these examples:

       Brandon is a gifted athlete.

       Brandon = subject; is = linking verb; athlete = noun as subject complement.

       It was he who caught the winning touchdown Friday night.

       It = subject; was = linking verb; he = pronoun as subject complement.

       Brandon becomes embarrassed when people compliment his skill.

       Brandon = subject; becomes = linking verb; embarrassed = adjective as subject complement.

   Then you have a list of verbs that can be linking or action: appear, feel, grow, look, prove, remain, smell, sound, taste, and turn.

   If you can substitute any of the verbs on this second list with an equal sign (  =  ) and the sentence still makes sense, the verb is almost always linking.

       Brandon's face will turn red.

       Face = subject; will turn = linking verb; red = adjective as subject complement. (Will turn is a linking verb because if you substitute an equal sign, the sentence still makes sense.)

Do not confuse subject complements with direct objects.

   Only linking verbs can have subject complements. If you have an action verb, then the word that answers the question what? or who? after the Subject + Verb is a direct object.

       When Michelle woke up this morning, she felt sick.

       She = subject; felt = linking verb; sick = subject complement. (Felt is a linking verb because if you substitute this felt with an equal sign, the sentence still makes sense.)

       Michelle felt her forehead but did not detect a temperature.

       Michelle = subject; felt = action verb. She felt what? Forehead = direct object. (Felt is an action verb because if you substitute this felt with an equal sign, the sentence does not make sense.)

   Subject Pronouns  Object Pronouns

   I

   we

   you

   he, she, it

   they

   who  me

   us

   you

   him, her, it

   them

   whom

   Check out these examples:

       Don't blame Gerard. It was I who woke you from a sound sleep.

       It = subject; was = linking verb; I = subject complement.

       Don't get mad at me! I didn't pull your ponytail! It was he.

       It = subject; was = linking verb; he = subject complement.

       Remember the amazing guitarist that I met? This is she.

       This = subject; is = linking verb; she = subject complement.
