Subject and Object Complements Notes Subject Complements - Always located in the predicate o Located directly after a linking verb - Two kinds o Predicate nominative Noun or pronoun that renames the subject of the sentence Ex: Joey is the president of the student council. President is the predicate nominative because it renames Joey. o Predicate adjective An adjective that gives more information about the subject Ex. The thunderstorm was loud and scary. Loud and scary are predicate adjectives because they give more information about the thunderstorm. Object Complements - Always located in the predicate o Located directly after an action verb - Direct object- located immediately after the action verb o Receives the action of the verb Ex: The left fielder hit the ball over the fence. Ball is the direct object because it is receiving the action of the verb - Indirect object- located in between the action verb and the direct object o Can only be in the sentence if there is a direct object o Tells the reader “to whom (what)” or “for whom (what)” the direct object is meant Ex: Tom gave me his tickets to the game Me is the indirect object because it tells who received the tickets Tickets is the direct object - Objective Complement- located directly after the direct object o Completes the meaning of the direct object in a sentence o Found only after verbs such as appoint, call, consider, elect, label, make, name, or think. Ex: The President named her administrator of NASA. I consider her the best candidate for the job. Follow the process when looking for complements: 1. Find verb- underline twice 2. Find prepositional phrases (complements will never be in a prepositional phrase)- use brackets 3. Find subject- underline once 4. Decide if the verb is action or linking a. Linking means subject complement b. Action means object complement 5. Determine the type of complement by writing the abbreviation above the word(s) Assignment: workbook p.40, 41, 43, 44 – due tomorrow
