Explanation:
Complements
1. A complement is a word or group of words that complete the meaning of the verb. There are
four kinds of complements: direct objects, indirect objects, object complements, and subject
complements.
2. A direct object answers what? or whom? after an action verb.
Sammi ate the turkey. (Sammi ate what?)
Carlos watched his sister in the school play. (Carlos watched whom?)
3. An indirect object receives what the direct object names.
Marie wrote June a letter. George Washington gave his troops orders.
4. A subject complement follows a subject and a linking verb and identifies or describes the subject.
A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and further identifies
the subject. A predicate adjective follows a linking verb and further describes the subject.
Predicate Nominative: The best football player is Jacob.
Predicate Adjective: The people have been very patient.
5. An object complement describes or renames a direct object.
Object Complement: Ami found the man handsome.
Object Complement: Carlo thought the woman a genius.
