Subject Complements

Are the parts of a clause that follow a
linking verb.
Linking Verbs include:
all forms of to be (am, was, is, were,
etc.), become, and seem. [always]
 Sometimes the following can also be
linking verbs: appear, become, feel,
grow, look, prove, remain, smell, sound,
taste, and turn. If you can replace these
words with an = sign and have the
sentence make since, they are linking
verbs.
